The Easter Holidays are just around the corner and I have had so many messages asking for ideas, so I have put together an Easter what's on guide to help inspire those looking for fun things to do. Loads going on across the North East this year and it is so nice to see so many events back on after a grim couple of years of the C word keeping us in Lockdown. I'm not 100% sure what we are doing yet, but I will keep you in the loop as usual.
I will add more when I see them, feel free to drop me an email if you know of a family friendly event in the North east this Easter. Kelly@northeastfamilyadventures.com
