There are plenty of things to do at Gateshead International Stadium when Stadium of Stories rolls in. From face-painting to storytelling, and crafting to football, families can pop in to check out over 20 stalls from local businesses, charities and organisations – each with something different for you and your family to try out.

There will also be messy sensory play sessions for little ones, and sports and games for older children.

Everyone’s welcome to this brilliant free event.

Pop along to meet award-winning local author Lisette Auton and find out how she became one of the North East’s most celebrated children’s writers. You might even learn a thing or two about building your very own fictional world!

Lisette is running three 45 minute sessions at 11.15am, 12.15pm and 1.15pm.
