It’s going to be a busy summer for Northumberland. After the opening of the Great Exhibition of the North last week, next Saturday (7th July), it’s the turn of Great Northumberland, Northumberland County Council’s cultural programme of activities around the county. The programme has been set up to help increase visitor numbers to Northumberland over the summer and beyond, and between now and September there are so many exciting events planned, covering areas including history, theatre, poetry and music. Saturday’s opening event takes place from 1pm-5pm, with a day of performance and street theatre at The Sele and in Hexham Abbey Grounds. The event is free, so I would encourage you to go along and celebrate the start of this exciting few weeks for Northumberland.
If you can’t make next Saturday’s event, there are many more events coming up over the summer as part of Great Northumberland. To find out more, visit here-
