From magical children's puppet shows to a family festival, there are plenty performances and events in and around Newcastle to keep all ages entertained this summer now that the long school holidays are under way.
We've pulled together just a few of them to give a taster of what's on offer and they include ideas aimed at grown-ups too. Among them are shows taking place this weekend as well as others that are newly announced and have tickets available to book now.
Ticket-wise, one show has a pay-what-you-feel offer and also remember that Newcastle 's Summer in the City is under way which includes free activities as well a programme of free film screenings that will run until September.
