About This Event

The annual Gleeds Dip and Sip invites businesses, teams and individuals to brave the North Sea in early December to raise money for Children North East, the regional charity that supports children, young people and families. This year it moves from King Edward's Bay to Longsands. Entry is free, and participants are asked to aim to raise at least £50 in sponsorship. Registration is through the charity's event page.
