Enjoy a giant digital colouring book – Step into a giant, multisensory digital colouring book inspired by the animals and nature of the Tees Valley.

A mini silent disco for folks to bust a move – Dance under the joyful glow of a giant, colourful mirror ball; put your headphones on, choose from a range of happy playlists and enjoy a unique silent disco! 🎧 And if dancing isn’t your thing, sit back, listen to some music and just take in the mesmerizing environment.
