How’s about an evening out at the Kielder Observatory to participate in fascinating lectures provided by the local professionals? Or why not take in a show at a theatre or at a local hall and enjoy the culture and entertainment Northumberland has to offer.

Be sure to take in the great outdoors of the county by visiting one or more of the Northumberland outdoor festivals and country shows. There’s always plenty to see, do and win! If you are curious about what Northumberland has to offer in terms of outdoor activities, take part in the various discussions, lectures and talks and prepare to discover the adventures our beautiful county has to offer.
