It's never too early to start planning for Christmas.
Some people may have already done their Christmas shopping in last year's sales, while others will have booked time off work months ago. And one of this year's first brand new festive events in the heart of Newcastle has been announced.
Northern Lights Newcastle is an 'immersive' light trail in Leazes Park, as the city's oldest park celebrates its 150th anniversary. Based along a mile-long accessible route with 10 - 12 light attractions, the trail includes audio compositions and choreography with the aim of creating a 90-minute magical experience for the whole family.
