The new academic year is upon us, and we're ready and raring to go with some events you won't want to miss out on.
The next few months promise a spectrum of performances, workshops and hands-on experiences. You can enjoy getting up close and personal with a range of unusual animals, or marvel in the all-enveloping soundscapes created by large-scale choruses. We take pleasure in inviting you, the general public, to come and join us.
We've selected a few highlights from across our visitor attractions and performing arts societies to whet your appetite. Check out full details through the links at the bottom of this article.

First up is the side-splitting Durham Revue, fresh from winning the Best Sketch Comedy Group Derek Award at the Edinburgh Fringe over the summer. The troupe will be at the Sir Thomas Allen Assembly Rooms Theatre on Saturday 11 October to perform 'Sketch Marks the Spot'.
