Samantha Rickelton is the creator of North East Family Fun, a platform launched in 2013. The site initially focused on providing candid, authentic reviews of local days out across North East England, addressing a clear need for genuine, family-focused insights within the region. Over time, the blog expanded its scope significantly, growing to include a wide range of global family travel experiences, from wild camping excursions to luxury getaways. As a mother of three, Rickelton brings a deeply relatable perspective to her content, consistently chronicling the practical realities of traveling with children. Her work is characterized by a distinctive, conversational writing style that seamlessly blends personal anecdotes with practical, detailed reviews. This unique approach offers valuable resources for families, providing practical guidance and inspiration for engaging activities and adventures, whether exploring locally or venturing abroad. North East Family Fun has since grown into Rickelton's full-time profession, and the platform now includes a dedicated team of writers. Beyond the blog, she also shares insights on blogging and social media on her personal website, SamanthaRickelton.com, positioning her as a recognized voice in digital content creation.
