Event information

Lonely Tower Film & Media present a special screening of the commemorative documentary film, 'A Passion for Vaux - Sunderland's Lost Brewery' marking 20 years since the iconic Sunderland Brewery closed its gates for the final time.

This screening is kindly supported by Sunderland City Council

On the 2nd of July 1999 Sunderland was forced to say goodbye to its beloved Vaux Brewery. After 162 years of brewing tradition the city centre site was abandoned, the victim of money men who thought little of those that had made their lives within its walls. As a business where family values and loyalty between management and workforce were paramount, Vaux was an anomaly in the late 20th Century world of the Big City shareholders.

‘A Passion for Vaux – Sunderland’s Lost Brewery’ is about the working pride of Wearside and of the people of Vaux, it is about tradition, loyalty and great beer.
