Saturday in Tynedale

Byrness, Otterburn and the surrounding villages feature on a busy day in the North today. I am hoping to go to the church of St Francis bring and buy sale in Byrness, at 2, and meeting locals as well as knocking on doors in the village, before heading off to other villages south of the village. I will be holding surgeries in Otterburn and then heading to Ponteland in the evening.
There is also a litter pick in Horsley in the morning at 10 and in Wylam there is a jumble sale at 2 in aid of project Gateway in Africa.
Hexham Market is on all morning in Hexham - try and support it! We need to buy local and support our local producers.

Vintage Fair, Hexham Market and so much more in Tynedale tomorrow

The Hexham Market is from 9-1.30, and should be followed up with a visit to the Vintage Fair in the Trinity Centre, just up the road from the Market, from 10.30-4.30. This is part organised by the wonderful people at the Hearth in Horsley, and will feature clothes, textiles and fabrics for everyone.
If you have time you could also take in the Barrasford Arms Marrow show. It is a great pub, with the best atmosphere, delicious food, and nice people. Worth going along to, even if only to support the Great North Air Ambulance, to which the proceeds rightly go to in Air Ambulance week.
