Hi Everyone,
"Families can find outdoor adventures and Halloween crafts at Souter this half term.
You can get into the spirit of Halloween with a spooky outdoor trail and pick up a pack of creative crafts on Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 October. There’s no need to book for either, simply head to the admissions desk between 11am and 3pm to get started. The trail is free, craft packs are £3 each.
In the lighthouse, kids can explore how coastal navigation works and colourful hands-on activity tables show how lighthouse keepers kept ships safe. Climbing to the top of the tower is an adventure for all ages, rewarded by views that stretch for miles.
There’s plenty of space to picnic and play in the Foghorn Field, or head onto the Welfare Field to fly a kite, kick a ball or have a run around with the family dog. Start near the car park to follow our Active Mile trail around Whitburn Coastal Park, with instructions for a different excercise at each way marker.
If the weather is good, little ones can borrow a balance bike for free and venture along traffic-free trails. Please ask a member of the team for details."

Hi Everyone,
We visited the Festival of Light at Roker Park yesterday evening. We arrived for 5pm which was ideal for us as there was only a few people in the park at that point and we were able to take advantage of the lovely play areas. These parks close at nightfall and we were also able to get on the train ride without much of a queue at all. The train ride is lovely with adults and children both being able to ride. This is free but they do accept donations. The people running the ride are great to.
Even at dusk, the lights are still very bright and vibrant so perfect if you have little ones who don't particularly like the dark. There are lots of food and drink vendors around the park and you can buy flashy lights which were priced between £5-£7. There is a helter skelter inside the park and lots of rides just outside on the sea front. There is definitely plenty to keep you busy. Don't forget to look out for the stilt walkers and characters who are happy to chat and pose for a photo.
As the night drew on the park turned more magical as the lights really came into their own. The park did become a lot busier though.
In previous years there has been a light display in the pond which has been moved this year to include fire as well. This was amazing all set to music and it felt like a show. The display runs every 15mins so it's worth waiting to watch from the begining if you arrive part way through.
We also enjoyed the haloween lights. Great for some spooky photo opportunities!
The roads around the park are closed off for permit holders only but we were able to park without to much trouble. If you park along the coast road you can enjoy the lights as you walk up to the park.

We had the most amazing night last night watching @schoolofrockuk at the beautiful @sundempire . We had previously seen the show in London a few years back so we knew we were in for a treat but we were totally blown away again by just how amazing the show cast and production is. It was also wonderful to get outdoors again and watch live theatre.The atmosphere from the audience was fantastic. We have to give a huge thank you to The Sunderland Empire for giving us the most wonderful night, it is a beautiful building filled with wonderful staff and amazing shows.
If you've missed School of Rock this time round they are back in the North East at the Theatre Royal Newcastle in March 2022. We can't recommend this show enough for families, kids and adults.
