GIANT sea creatures, scientific marvels and street theatre will greet shoppers in Newcastle this weekend.
Sunday is children's day in the city's Winter Festival, from 11am to 4pm, even including a 50ft-long inflatable sperm whale.
There will be marquees around Grey's Monument where children can learn circus skills, join in crafts, or watch a puppet show.
The Life Science Centre in Times Square will host a luminarium - an inflatable attraction of colour and light.
Details of the programme are available on www.winter-festival-newcastle-gateshead. co.uk
