From wild safari to axe throwing - alternative North East days out to try with friends and family

With warm weather beckoning and long days to enjoy, many of us are keen to make the most of the summer by getting out and about in our free time.

The North East offers up all sorts of possibilities but often people stick to the usual routine rather than think of new things to try, with fall-back options often being their usual walk, trip to the pub or meet-up with friends. And that's all lovely of course but how much better to add something new to the mix.

Alternative ideas for a weekend outing or after-work treat can include anything from getting up close and personal with wildlife on a rural safari to trying out axe-chucking during a day in the city centre. The region offers all of this and a whole lot more.
