There are so many fantastic events going on throughout the festive period this year. My Festive Family Fun In Sunderland Guide was really popular, so I thought I would share guides for other parts of the North East. Durham is only a 15 minute drive away from Sunderland and we love spending time in the gorgeous city and county. There's so much to choose from this year.
