Had a lovely relaxing afternoon at the studio in August with my 6 year old and newborn son. We enjoyed it so much we’ve now done a couple of the takeaway kits at home too which we love doing. Something a bit different for us to do together with the added bonus of having a keepsake at the end of it. Really good value when visiting the studio or when completing at home and the kits include everything you’d need. Highly recommended ????

Interesting history of glass and fascinating exhibition in gallery. We were staying in Newcastle and travelled by metro to Sunderland. When walking back to Metro station we passed St Peter's church which is Saxon. We went in and were treated to a guided tour. Fascinating. We then walked past The Museum and decided to call in. Found it was a football museum. Again were treated to a guided tour. It is well worth a visit.

We love it. So many bits of the park you can visit just on their own. Young children's play area, sand pit, duck pond, big lawns of grass, foujtains, streams, vafe, toilets, baby change, sensory garden, blackberry picking in the autumn. Such a wonderful place. I'm glad my child can grow up going to this park!
