Our 2021 Northumberland Day is still operating under some Covid-19 restrictions, so although we have some events, please be aware that you must follow the latest advice, if attending these.

For this reason, we are also providing do-at-home or do-at-school activities, inspiring you to go overboard in decorating your home, school, garden or shop/office, bringing you exciting competitions, and encouraging you to listen to a new podcast that we are launching.

We are launching a new castles-themed education pack and have a new member of our mascot family – Heartley the Hare.

If you are able to arrange a compliant activity, or a virtual event, of some kind, we are here to help you publicise it, so just email office@northumberlandday.co.uk to let us know about it.  Please also follow our news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (both Northumberland Day and Northumbear).

Northumberland Day

Northumberland Day is an initiative which was launched and championed by Langley Castle Hotel and Restaurant, in Langley-on- Tyne, and which was realised thanks to the support of passionate Northumbrians, from all walks of life, who helped bring it to fruition. Its ethos is to generate pride in everything Northumbrian, past and present, from culture, heritage and arts and crafts, to food and drink, landscape and sporting and community life.

The first-ever Northumberland Day took place on Sunday 28 May 2017 – a day set amidst a fortnight of events, activities and community celebrations organised by proud and committed Northumbrians and adopted Northumbrians, in locations across the whole of the county.   Northumberland Day 2018 will take place on Sunday May 27 2018, the day before the Northumberland County Show and will again be part of a fortnight of activities, events, celebrations and schools initiatives.  It will also continue to encompass the hugely popular ‘Northumbie’ Awards.  To find out more, please click the button below.
