What's On for Kids in the North East This Weekend

There are advertisements in this post. 

Hello! I usually share a few ideas for things to do over the weekend across North East England on Facebook and Instagram Stories every Friday morning. I am going to trial sharing this info as a blog post too as hopefully I can provide more info. Let's see how this goes! 

This post will always use this link so bookmark it and check back every Friday morning. I will of course re-share across Social Media each week too. 

10 Reasons to Visit Teesside Park

 This is an advertisement for August 2021.
Any shares / edits beyond this date have not been asked or paid for. 

Teesside Park in Stockton-on-Tees recently invited us to #SeizeTheDay and enjoy some much needed family time together and have a spontaneous day of fun at their centre whilst enjoying some of the activities we had missed over the last year or so.

We honestly had the best time and after a busy few weeks, it was so nice to re-group and spend a full day doing things we enjoy. 

This was my first visit to Teesside Park and I was super impressed with both the range and quality of facilities on offer. I really hope this post inspires more of you to visit and it is somewhere I would 100% recommend to families as a destination for their next day out. 

Let's take a peek at why we think you should #SeizeTheDay and visit Teesside Park.......

South Shields Museum & Art Gallery | A Visitor's Guide

This is an advertisement for August 2021. Any edits / reshares beyond this date have not been asked or paid for. 

I was chatting to my friend recently about our last visit to South Shields Museum & Art Gallery and they mentioned that they didn't realise that South Shields had its own museum. I do feel like despite being in a prominent position in the town centre, those who visit the popular seafront attractions and parks may not realise it is just a short walk away. 

10 of the Best Days Out for Wheelchair Users (with changing places toilets)

 I am often asked for ideas for days out for wheelchair users or where there is access to a changing places toilet so have spent some time researching this post which I hope some of you will find useful. Please note, I am not a wheelchair user myself and do not have first hand experience.

I would love to hear from those who do so if you are a wheelchair user (or carer) and have anything to add to this post, please email sam@northeastfamilyfun.co.uk Thank you.
