To begin your festive adventure, simply collect your Elf Trail map from the Customer Service desk, located outside Fenwick. Your mission? To search Eldon Square for hidden vinyls, each displaying a letter. Collect all the letters, solve the festive names, and enjoy the magic of Christmas at Eldon Square.

Once your trail is complete, return your finished trail map to the Customer Service desk. Every participant will receive a special certificate and a sweet treat as a reward for their efforts, making it the perfect way to celebrate completing your festive journey.

Aladdin, Tue 25 Nov 2025 – Sun 18 Jan 2026

Enter a whole new world of pantomime with a brand-new version of Aladdin celebrating Danny and Clive’s 20th year as the stars of the Theatre Royal panto.

Michael Harrison’s retelling of the legendary story is set in the Royal Kingdom of Pantomania, where a whole host of fairytale characters come together in a pantomime for the 21st century. Wicked witches meet dancing geese, colliding with one very magical flying carpet! This is Aladdin as you’ve never seen it before – with a Tyneside twist!
