Welcome To The Beacon of Light
The North East’s world-class sports, health, education and events venue.
New safety measures
Following the latest update to government guidelines regarding North East restrictions, the Foundation of Light has implemented further safety measures to ensure that the Beacon of Light remains a COVID secure facility.
INDOOR ACTIVITIES RETURN THANKS TO GOGA
After the Beacon of Light successfully reopened its doors on Monday (3rd August) for kids’ holiday courses, it can now extend its offering, thanks to funding support from Get Out Get Active (GOGA).
BEACON'S PHASED REOPENING
From 3rd August, the multi-use games area and five a side pitches will be once again available for the public to book for a discounted price.
NEW PRICE
5 a side pitch hire from just £20!
Overlooking the Stadium of Light and the River Wear our 3G 5 a side outdoor pitches are arguably the most beautiful in Sunderland and also the best value!
Host Amazing Conferences & Events
Let us light up your next event and support local communities! A venue space like no other, the Beacon of Light offers true versatility with flexible spaces to accomodate up to 3,500 people.
Business Opportunities
We need like-minded individuals, businesses and supporters to come on board and ensure we can do more.
