A Summer of Fun - Gateshead & South Tyneside Find Out What's On


This post has been updated for 2024

Our Summer guides are proving very popular once again this year.

I have decided to do more guides to cover more areas as we always get asked for more and more ideas.

There's lots going on across the North East this summer.
