We’ve rounded up 10 of the top things to do around the region this weekend and beyond.
9. Robson Carew and the Pirates of Crimdon Dene, Arts Centre Washington, until January 25
Robson Carew and the Pirates of Crimdon Dene pantomime will be staged at Arts Centre Washington on Fridays and Saturdays until January 25. It's this year's offering from Washington Theatre Group. Hero Robson has just a few days to find his family’s long lost treasure or he’ll lose his ancestral home Downsize Abbey! Who better to help with this quest than his manservant Bob and his cook Barely Merry? Together they charter a ship full of jolly sailors – but are they really sailors? Tickets from the Arts Centre Washington website. Photo: JPI Media

The ultimate live concert experience paying tribute to the legend that is Queen is at Durham's Gala Theatre on January 11.
