December is here, the countdown to Christmas is on and we all know what that means… it’s panto season!
Myself and the family were invited along to Forum Theatre Billingham again this year for their panto The Further Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan: The Return of Captain Hook. We loved Cinderella last year so couldn’t wait for this one.
Friday 3rd October saw Little Robot bring their comedy event back to SpaceBar Sunderland for their 2nd comedy night, following on from a successful show there back in May!
Earlier this month I popped along to a preview evening of The Green Room – the brand new bar at Newcastle Theatre Royal!
If you know the Theatre Royal, you’ll know it’s one of the most iconic venues in the North East, and now it’s opened its doors in a whole new way.

Except last night (and until the 2nd of January!) it’s divorced, beheaded, LIVE at Stockton Globe as SIX makes its royal return to Teesside following a sold out run last year.
If you want female empowerment, dazzling costumes and banging tunes then you’ve definitely come to the right musical!
It’s not officially Christmas until you get to see a panto, right? We were over the moon to be invited along to Darlington Hippodrome again this year for the opening weekend of the fairest panto in the land… Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!
Adam and I love a little jaunt to Seaham on a weekend so I was really excited to be invited along to The ARMourY to grab a drink and try some food from their new menu!
September was relatively quiet and it’s a good job really as we had a jam packed October! It’s my favourite month to be fair and I always try and fill it with lots of fun autumn activities. We did so much and now it’s time to tell you all about it!
