Things To Do

Activities at Ball work a little differently than at Rally because everybody travels at different times and stays in different places. It's up to you to work with your club or ask around on Discord and sort out your own plans for the weekend. What's great about this is that you're free to make as much of the weekend as you like. Some people just come for the Ball event in the evening whilst others make a full weekend plan.

Below we've provided you with some of our favourite things to do in and around Newcastle. This is just a guide and you'll need to book tickets yourself. Times/prices etc may vary so please check out the specific website for each venue. For even more things to do, places to stay and places to eat check out the Enjoy Staffordshire and Visit Stoke websites.

If you need any help remember to drop your fairy godmother an email and she'll help you as much as she can. 

Remember: You won't be booking any of these activities here, this is just a guide. However it may be useful to register your interest in the booking process so people can see what your plans are and you can organise something together.
