STACK Seaburn

About STACK Seaburn

STACK Seaburn opened on the seafront at Seaburn in 2020, built from shipping containers on Whitburn Road beside the Morrisons store. It was the first of the STACK leisure hubs in the North East and has since been joined by others in Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Lincoln. It is one of the busiest places on the Sunderland coast in the evenings and at weekends.

Inside are independent street food traders under one roof, covering Greek gyros, Korean street food, bao buns, burgers, fried chicken, American barbecue, thin-crust pizza and fish and chips, plus a coffee and brunch kitchen and several bars. Live entertainment runs most days, including local bands, karaoke, family shows, themed nights and live sport on big screens, with a seasonal Christmas programme. Benches and group areas can be booked online. Individual traders keep their own hours within the venue's opening times, and under-18s should check the venue's age policy for evening visits.
