Category: North East Days Out

Ad-we were invited for a 2 night press stay Come the weekend we are usually pretty frazzled and last weekend was no exception. Imogen was about to sit her year 6 SATS testing at school and had been revising hard (or so she said!) Alan’s training for the Blaydon race had picked up pace &…

We were looking for somewhere to got that we’d never been to before. We’d felt like we’d visited all the FREE stuff in the Newcastle area many times over. It was North East Family Fun that suggested the Science and Media Museum in Bradford as they’d had a great day out there. So we chewed…

AD – This is a collaborative post with The Gate, Newcastle Sometimes mid-week evenings can be lost in a blur of homework, clubs & chores, but why leave all the fun to the weekend? We had a brilliant night on Thursday sampling some of the fun family activities on offer at The Gate in Newcastle.…

At 20,000 square feet, Inflata Nation is located in the dome next to the Royal Quays shopping outlet which used…

We have been wanting to compile this blog piece for a while but the weather was conspiring against us. However, even though March has been a little temperamental we decided to get out and about and start exploring some of the North East sculptures in the area. All of the works of art featured are…

We were invited to the opening night of D.E.A.D on High Bridge, Newcastle. The name which stands for Drop Everything And Drink, gives out a quirky vibe. Externally the bar doesn’t shout out, bar the huge lettering on the windows that shouts BEER! And Beer is what this is all about. D.E.A.D is part of…
