Advantages: Fun and educational

Disadvantages: Not activities all the time

Seven Stories is a not so well known place for a day out for kids in Newcastle. It is located in something of an obscure location- before you get to Byker coming out of Newcastle, which makes it not the easiest of places to get to. However it is well worth the effort to visit here more than once because they do some great things here.

Seven Stories is all to do with children's books, and they frequently have exhibitions about books and more frequently run all sorts of activities which are applicable for a wide range of ages. For example mask making is an activity which they often offer for younger kids.

They are able to get quite a few authors here to talk about their books as activities for older kids and I have heard that these can be very valuable experiences. As an example, this week they are doing a fairytales week with activities concerning this.

Their website is very good, and there are nt activities all the time so it is worth checking online to see what is going on there and if there is, pay it a visit.

Summary: A great place
