YOUNG children have got behind Newcastle United as part of creative play sessions.

ARTventurers Tyne Valley and Consett, which was relaunched by Becky Mack last Easter, hosted two sold-out NUFU cup final celebration events.

It comes as the Magpies prepare to take on Man United at Wembley in the Carabao cup final.

"It was the perfect way to commemorate the occasion with children and families", said Becky. "So much fun, keepsakes and memories to treasure."

Becky, of Stocksfield, took on the business after leaving her job in teaching to pursue her passion for art and early development. She had attended the play-based learning sessions with her own children before. 

The classes, which cater for very small babies up to school-aged children, develop social skills, creative development, physical development and fine motor skills. They are set at the child's own pace and provide opportunities they may not have at home.
