Ways to Play - fun events for families during school holidays

Ways to Play is a programme of free and low-cost activities for families during school holidays. It's happening at your favourite North East museums and galleries this February half term.

Travelling to our venues by Metro

Make your ‘Ways to Play’ adventure a great value day out by travelling to our venues by the Metro, Bus and/or Shields Ferry. Up to three children aged 11 and under can travel for free with a fare-paying adult with a valid ticket or concessionary pass holder during school holidays. Find out more.

Kids Go Free will cover the area of the North East Combined Authority – County Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside, and Sunderland during school holidays.

Ways to Play is sponsored by Tyne and Wear Metro.

Don't forget - up to three children aged 11 and under can travel for free on the Bus  with a fare-paying adult, too.
