Sporting prowess at the University of Sunderland

You're in the heart of the lively city of Sunderland at the university's main campus, but also close to the coast if you want to blow away a few cobwebs during your visit.

Shop for bargains at The Bridges

The university is just across the road from the Bridges Shopping Centre, where the 90 stores include high-street favourites as well as more specialised shops. From Debenhams and Next to Kiko Cosmetics and Footasylum, it's all here.

Watch in awe at the National Glass Centre

See a master glassblower at work at this top Sunderland attraction as you discover how glass first arrived in Britain and marvel at the latest glass and ceramic art from some of the world's top artists and new designers studying at the centre. You can even walk on the glass roof - just don't look down if you're scared of heights.
