Sweet Street – Redcar’s new dessert festival by the sea
Sweet Street is Redcar’s brand-new Dessert Festival hitting Redcar High Street on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 July from 11am to 5pm. Celebrating National Ice Cream Day and our famous Lemon Top!
Our artisan dessert market will sell everything from cakes to cookies, churros to crepes, cannoli to sweet dumplings, chocolate to blondies and of course ice cream just to name a few.
Key highlights include an exciting Demo Kitchen, featuring leading international chocolatiers, bakers and chefs. Workshops for all ages will allow visitors to get hands on with professional ice cream making, cheesecake making and chocolate lollipops. There will also be a Sweet Trail for children throughout the high street which will take in some of our amazing businesses. And a Redcar and Cleveland cake competition will bring the Bake Off vibes to the festival.
Redcar Crooner George Robinson will be performing a range of Italian crooner classics at one of Redcar’s most famous ice cream parlours Pacittos.
Beamish Museum will be giving a fascinating insight into the history of migration and ice cream in the North East, and they will be delivering a hands-on demonstration of how to make ice cream in the old-fashioned way at Tees Valley Arts in Palace Hub on the Esplanade.
