For families looking for a bit of festive fun in the run-up to Christmas, you could do a lot worse than visiting Winter Wonderland at Newcastle Racecourse.
Kids can meet Santa at his Grotto and get photos with the Grinch, as well as going on a whole host of rides - with spinning teacups and cars for the youngest, to a bungee for the most daring teens. Rides start at £2 and the bungee costs £12.50, while it's £5 per person for entry.
But should you eat beforehand? Not necessarily (and certainly not if you're planning on going on some of the bigger rides).
