Saturday 29th November 2025 | 10am - 10pm | Ad Gefrin
As the nights draw in and the fires are lit, Ad Gefrin invites you to gather for The Yule Gaderung – a two-day midwinter celebration of Northumberland’s land, people, and traditions. This special, unique winter event revives the Anglo-Saxon spirit of Yule: a time of light, warmth, and community.
In the warmth and soft glow of the marquee and across the Ad Gefrin grounds, explore a winter market filled with Northumbrian makers, bakers, and distillers. Discover gifts and flavours that tell the story of our land, from wild honey and winter spirits, to cheese, hearty pies, and handcrafted keepsakes. This is not your normal Christmas market - this is a celebration of ancient culture, through music and storytelling, with activities for the little ones, meaning fun for all the family.
