As of June 10^th until July 10^th, the Football European Championships will be taking place in France. For the football fan his is great news, 1 month of international football watching the best players from around Europe going head to head.

But what if you’re not a football fan? Well I’m afraid you’ll be spending the next few weeks trying to remember what time Coronation Street is on because ITV are showing Romania v Switzerland at 7:30pm.

Worry not though, because here 6 activities that will get you out of the house and away from the pubs just long enough for you to miss the matches!

GoClimb

Complete over 20 unique challenges at GoClimb, the brand new climbing attraction in Billingham Forum. Le your imagination run on the space wall, mirror wall and lightning wall as well as taking on the parabolic slide and leap of faith.
