Just when you thought it couldn't get better ...

Rory McIlroy has added his name to the already exciting list of top golfers who will be playing at next week's British Masters, which will be played at Close House in Heddon-on-the-wall. McIlroy will be joining tournament host Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, and many more when the tournament tees off on Thursday 28th September, and it promises to be a fantastic few days for the North East!

If you're lucky enough to have a ticket for the British Masters then why not make the most of your time in Northumberland? The area around Close House is home to some brilliant restaurants and pubs- try out The Swan in Heddon or go down the road to the Black Bull in Wylam for some delicious Northumberland cooking.
