Heartland

For reasons that are too complex and unexpected to bore you with I have three weeks from 25th July to 20th August with a car, fuel and £200. With no responsibilities to burden me. I live in the north east. My musical interests are obvious. I am here.
I love comedy, noise and physics. Hence why I love the Sisters.

The thing is that I only discovered this holiday/break/terrifying descent into hell - tonight.

Whereto shall I go and to whom shall receive my money/custom??

... In other words what the hell should I do? Do any of you fellow miscreants know of any gigs/events/shows that a respectable 45 year old fellow heartlander can amuse himself for a day/weekend/week in our fair country?

Any advice will be ignored/considered. In that order, probably.

I thank you in anticipppppation.

Museums are free I can't think of any other than Beamish and there is a Mining museum up there somewhere. Its been years since I stayed in the N.E.
Are you wanting to go away if not you could do days out to places looking where there are random interesting bands on. Just look for cheep gigs or free ones round the area or how far you are willing to drive. Does your work pay for all the fuel you use?

Beamish is good free and local but i want to go out and have fun.
What's happening in the UK??

there's usually loads of little festivals and s**t going off. you could just grab a tent and explore. £200 isnt a lot more than beer money for 3 weeks.

Thanks PiB, some interesting ones there... was looking at Down to The woods but its unfortunately been cancelled.
Will keep looking at thefestivalcalendar though...
