Witch trials & a dip in the North Sea - here’s your latest Newcastle what’s on guide

Meanwhile, if you enjoy the outdoors but maybe cold water swimming isn’t your thing, we’ve another event that’s great for the whole family to enjoy.

The Land of Oak and Iron Heritage Centre are hosting a family bird walk. An expert will walk with you to help search for bird life in the Blaydon area.

The event promises to be a great introduction for children and families to finding out more about birds. This event takes place on January 16.

This next event is for kids in Newcastle who identify as LGBTQIA+ who are gender non-conforming or questioning their identity.

The Curious Youth Arts Group are coming to Dance City in Newcastle City Centre - on January 15 - and they provide a safe space for young people where they can connect with other whilst exploring their creativity.
