Meet the Team
Samantha Rickelton
Hello - I’m Sam (business owner). I launched North East Family Fun in 2012 and it has been my full time business for 6 years now.
I live in Cramlington, Northumberland with my husband Steve, our Cockapoo Fozzy and three children Harry (15), Dee (13) and Jack (11). We love the great outdoors, good food, sharing hidden gems/new experiences and dog-friendly adventures.
Steven Rickelton
Hello, I'm Steve (Sam's husband). I am the team's resident food writer and share local restaurant reviews alongside delicious family recipes to try.
Jennifer Storey
Hi, I'm Jen, or more commonly known as 'mum' to my two wild ones; Lily Rose (6) and Thomas (3).
We live in Newcastle, where I work part-time as a breastfeeding practitioner; a role which I am really passionate about. In our free time we love getting out and about and exploring the North East and beyond together.
Thomas was very aptly named as he LOVES his namesake (of the tank engine variety), plus anything else vehicle related for that matter. Lily Rose loves animals (in fact, she regularly informs me that she is actually half cat).
If I'm honest, I'm a big kid myself, and love getting stuck in at the soft play, or swishy swashying through the long grass on a bear hunt. That said, I do also enjoy activities that allow me to quietly 'observe' whilst enjoying a cuppa. Examples of Jennifer's work include this review of Jungle Jack's and this review of Trainmaster North East.
Bethanie Wardell
Hi, I’m Bethanie. After working in Early Years for over a decade, I turned my attention to the things I really love in life: family, writing and travel. I’m an experienced blogger, author, freelance writer and mum to three (aged 1, 5 and 8 years). In no particular order my hobbies include: reading, writing, long walks up a mountain, exploring new places and family film nights with hot chocolate.
Examples of Bethanie's work include this feature of Sycamore Gap and this review of Bailiffgate Museum.
Gaia Hudson
Hi, I’m Gaia. I live in Durham with my husband Andy, our two kids Leon and Ada and chocolate Labrador Charlie who sometimes joins us on adventures.
Gaia's favourite things: Beach walks, coffee and cake in cosy cafes, training for the Great North Run
