We’ve rounded up some of the best things to do with the family around the North East, from day trips to activities closer to home.
17. Goldilocks, Billingham Forum
Brought to you by the same team that brought Sleeping Beauty to The Forum during half term 2019, Tom Rolfe Productions are thrilled to be back with their biggest and most spectacular show yet, Goldilocks and the Three Bears running from February 18-20 at 1.30pm. Will Goldilocks manage to find a new star attraction to save the circus? Will the three bears leave the forest and save the day? Will there be porridge by the bucket full? Photo: Submitted
18. Big Fish Little Fish family rave, Sage Gateshead
Big Fish Little Fish is at Sage Gateshead on Sunday 16 February at 12.30pm & 3pm. Join the award- winning, critically acclaimed family fun event for the post-rave generation of parents. The raves are designed to be as much fun for the adults as they are the children, and are social, daft, anarchic and creative spaces for all the family to enjoy. On the multi-sensory dancefloor there will be confetti cannons, balloons, bubbles and giant parachute dance. Craft tables with themed crafts, giant colouring mural and playdoh table. Toddler play area with tents and tunnels and baby chillout space with mat and small ball pool. Licensed bar and free tattoo transfers. There will also be a face painter (£3.50 per face). Book at the Sage Gateshead website. Photo: Photography: www.jazamin.co.uk
