MUSIC fans heading to the North East for a one-off concert this month can enjoy a special rate at the region’s newest hotel.
On 19 August, Sunderland’s Herrington Country Park will play host to Haçienda Classical – a one night only tribute to dance music classics from the heyday of Manchester’s legendary Haçienda nightclub.
The tracks, by bands such as New Order, Black Box and Marshall Jefferson, have been reinterpreted by the club’s original DJs, Mike Pickering and Graeme Park and will be played alongside the Manchester Camerata Orchestra with performances from the AMC Choir, New Order’s Peter Hook and Happy Mondays’ Rowetta.
And the recently launched Hilton Garden Inn Hotel Sunderland, adjacent to SAFC’s Stadium of Light, is offering concert-goers an overnight stay in a twin or double room, with breakfast the following morning for just £99.
The 141 room hotel, which is the first of its brand to launch in northern England, boasts 141 bedrooms and suites along with a pan-American Karbon Grill restaurant.
Director of sales, Catherine Graham, said: “There’s been a huge buzz around Haçienda Classical and we know people are coming from far and wide to see the show so it makes perfect sense to show our support for the event, with a special rate for fans.”
The show has played to superb reviews and full houses across the UK and Karen Makepeace, of event organiser Northern Sessions, said: “It’s a real coup to be bringing Haçienda Classical to the North East and we’re delighted Hilton has supported the event in this way.
“The concert will bring a large number of people to the region and this will be a great opportunity to show their stunning hotel to a wider audience.”
Tickets are still available for the show and Northern Sessions has created two ticket packages, each including festival-style hospitality.
General admission tickets include access to a Gin Palace, Prosecco bar, Mojito Tent and traditional bar, a coffee bar and food stations serving hog roast, noodles, crispy chicken and duck wraps and gourmet burgers.
VIP guests will be able to relax in the hospitality marquee with secure enclosure and a dedicated food and bar service.
Tickets cost £35 for general admission and £100 for VIP and are available from http://www.ticketline.co.uk/hacienda-classical-northern-sessions#bio or through 0844 8889991.
