With the cost of living crisis continuing to bite, the event is free and organisers have pledged they will be "making sure traders can display their goods and products for minimal cost which means you as the customer don’t pay too much for your Christmas shopping".
Ahead of the event, Beacon of Light General Manager Jemma Dowson said: "We're really excited to be welcoming North East Festive Fayre.
"It's the first time we've hosted such an event at the Beacon and it's a great opportunity for anyone who hasn't yet visited the venue to come and see what we have to offer, as well as giving people the chance to start their Christmas shopping. "We're hoping it proves so popular with visitors that we can host similar events in the future."
