HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came along and supported it! 💙🧡

The street was buzzing, the sun was shining, the music was flowing and The Glass Onion was certainly kept on its toes! 😅☕🍔🍰

We had a fantastic busy day inside the café and loved seeing so many familiar faces, and plenty of new ones too!

And what a brilliant line-up of entertainment we had! 🎶🎤👏

A massive thank you to Sunderland Male Voice Choir, Sing Choir and Company Choir for filling Blandford Street with some amazing music throughout the day. You were all fantastic!

Thanks also to everyone who organised the event, took part, ran stalls, performed, helped out and worked away behind the scenes to make the whole day happen.

Most of all, thank you to YOU to everyone who came down, joined in, bought something, had a singalong, stopped for a cuppa or simply helped create such a brilliant atmosphere.

Blandford Street really came alive! 🎈🎶🥳

We had an absolutely brilliant day and we hope you did too.

Same time next year, anyone? 😉

💙🧡 From all of us at The Glass Onion — THANK YOU! 🧡💙
