We won’t tell you them all, so there’s still plenty to be surprised by. However, we can’t resist telling you, you are in for a treat as you will even have the chance to handle and feed the animals!

Thinking of something to do can be tough enough, never mind when it also has to be free. But don’t worry – we’ve rounded up a list of free things to do in the North East.
Think lavish greenery and stunning flowers. Jesmond Dene is picturesque – the perfect place for a stroll through beautiful displays of nature. A definite highlight is the grand waterfall, which anyone who lives locally will know as a famous photo spot. But what is arguably the best spot is Pets Corner. Situated in the heart of the Newcastle-based park, the farm is home to all your favourite farm animals. Expect pigs, goats, rabbits and so, so many colourful birds!

Date night always sound like a great idea, until it comes to thinking about what to do. That’s why we have rounded up the best date night ideas in the North East.
Quayside
The stunning views of the Quayside set the ideal scene for a leisurely evening stroll before the date night kickstarts. With multiple of Newcastle’s top restaurants located on the front, you have plenty to choose from for a gourmet meal. Head to Tomahawk Steakhouse for meat cooked to perfection, or indulge in Italian specialities at Gino D’Acampo’s restaurant. Whatever your choice, we’d recommend booking, as you don’t want the annoyance of going door to door to put a damper on your evening.

Bowling
If the weather is looking too grim to be outdoors, bowling is always a great idea. Who doesn’t love a bit of competition? No cheating though. By this we mean, putting the sides up or using the ramp! Scoring zero without them is better than scoring a strike with them. At least in our books anyways. Plus, if you lose, you can challenge your date to a game in the arcade centre afterwards to even the scores.
