Shopping in Northumberland

From elegant antiques, unique arts and crafts and quality souvenirs to delicious local produce, you'll find it all in Northumberland's shops and farmers' markets. For the best selection of shopping, recommended towns include the historic centres of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Warkworth, Morpeth, Hexham and Corbridge, offering great individuality with unique high streets lined with interesting shops and galleries.

Fresh locally produced food and drink is widely available at regular farmers' markets throughout the county, selling everything from organically reared lamb, Northumberland cheeses and kippers from Craster - a favourite with the Queen.

Take home an original piece of Northumberland art from your visit - perhaps beautifully crafted porcelain or glass, a piece of original jewellery or unique gift of Northumberland Tartan. In June and July The Art Tour welcomes visitors into Northumberland's potteries, studios and workshops to meet the artists themselves - a great opportunity to buy something truly unique and inspired by Northumberland.
