Festive Trails - North East 2023
I can't quite believe just how quickly this year has gone. I am currently sat updating all of my festive posts and getting truly into the festive spirit. This year has seen the rise of light trails in popularity. I have put together this handy guide of Light and Festive Trails from the Start of November right up until the end of the year. I will updated this post regularly when new events are announced and of course keep an eye out for my other handy guides which are always super popular every year.

Let me know HERE if you are organising any festive events and I can add them into my handy guides completely free of charge.
