AWAY FROM IT ALL
We love a cosy cottage, but we also have a soft spot for chic apartments. With whitewash good looks and true Pinterest-worthy interiors, The Apartment, in the heart of Berwick-upon-Tweed, is one charming coastal retreat…
TIME OUT
Celebrate The Bowes Museum’s 125th birthday at its Family Fun Day event on February 21. Take the kids or grab the other half and join in a variety of cool drop-in activities, suitable for all ages. Stroll the grounds afterwards.
An early reminder to get yourselves along to The Stand Comedy Club, Newcastle, on February 20 for a funny fundraising night in support of balletLORENT’s community cast show, Rumpelstiltskin.
WITH THE KIDS
Take them to Hartlepool’s brand new indoor trampoline park, Jump 360, for a bounce about. Tackle everything from climbing walls and tumble tracks to dodgeball courts and giant foam pits. Suitable for grown-ups too!
Hall Hill Farm reopens this weekend for half-term fun, with plenty of crafty workshops in the play barn and outdoor activities. See the farm’s latest new arrivals, including pygmy goats, chicks, and piglets.
FOODIE
If dinner must be a swift affair this weekend, consider Cafe 21 at Fenwick’s tasty new Early Evening menu. Enjoy two courses for £17 or three for £20.50. The grub changes weekly and you can book from 5pm onwards.
Grab the troops and mooch the stalls at Jesmond Food Market on Saturday. Fill your bags with yummy local produce, from fresh meat and veg to pastries and other sweet treats. Plenty of street food, too.
