2pm: Palace vs Visitors
4.30pm: Sunderland vs Leeds

Then tonight we have Sweet Caroline, a tribute to Neil Diamond, at The Fire Station - final tickets available online or on the door!

Thanks to all who joined us in The Engine Room for last night’s Poznan match. Not the result we wanted but we loved watching the game with you all ❤️🤍

All future Europa League and televised Premier League games will be back in our matchday marquee with our two giant video walls - including AC Milan away hosted by and Derby Day.

We’ve only got a few tickets left for both of those so act fast if you want to join us.

HWTL.

Thanks for joining last night for Sunderland’s first away win in Europe for 53 years - the atmosphere was electric and you played your part cheering the lads on from the heart of the city.

Just to let you know, we show every televised Sunderland match in our fanzone space - including this Sunday’s trip to Bournemouth (2pm KO).

Two huge video walls with world-class sound. Plenty of seating with tables. And street food, Sunday lunch and two-pinters.

This is the only place to watch big Sunderland games like this - and best of all, entry is free.

We’re family-friendly here so bring the kids and watch the game together.

Doors open at 1pm so you can come down early and grab your seat, we’ll also be showing Forest vs Arsenal at 4.30pm, or you can drop in to The Dun Cow’s 125th birthday party next door after the match.

See you Sunday!

What Sunday afternoons are all about.

Our friends The Michael Young Trio are back at The Engine Room today with free live jazz from 2.30 until 4.

If you’re seeing Royal Northern Sinfonia at The Fire Station you can catch the first 30 minutes or just pop in and enjoy the full set with a cracking Sunday lunch.

You know it makes sense.

It's been a long three weeks but tomorrow...it's matchday 🔴⚪

We're open early doors tomorrow and are showing Arsenal vs Leeds at 12.30pm in the marquee as well as the Man United vs Spurs late kick off.

Two giant screens for the game, burgers and tots from our airstream, two-pinters, fast service, great company and hopefully three points for the red and white wizards.

What more could you ask for.
