Anyone who's followed Local Heroes knows we don't do things by halves.

We've been grafting to get South Shields thriving again - from the ferry landing to the foreshore, from the Saturday Market to the seafront.

It's about people, pride, and place.

So we're made up to team up with the iconic Ocean Beach Pleasure Park for something that's pure Shields!

For the next 6 weeks, we're giving away a fully loaded card to spend at the fair - in return for your Stories From Shields.
The memories, the nostalgia, the days out that made this town what it is.

How to enter:

⬇️ Share your fairground memories below. Leave your name and details so we can reach you if you win.

Every Thursday we'll announce that week's winner across our socials, with your loaded card ready to collect from South Shields Market Square the following Saturday.

Share a memory, and you could be spinning on the waltzers on us. 💙

From ferry to foreshore - this town has always had stories to tell.

Let's hear yours.
