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.

Jesmond Dene

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.
