A summer spectacular in Morpeth town centre begins this weekend

Every Saturday afternoon throughout July and August, Sanderson Arcade will host a live DJ set from 2pm to 7pm in the main piazza area.

Spinning Superiority will be kicking things off this Saturday (July 22) with a special appearance from Lady V Saxophone at 1pm to really get the party started.

There will be something for everyone with a different theme each week, from funky soul to classic Motown. Visitors can enjoy a fruity cocktail, or mocktail, on Barluga’s outdoor terrace.

To tie in with the Summer Social events, the Arcade’s gallery display has been changed to a sparkly, disco theme.

Lottie Thompson, Sanderson Arcade’s centre manager, said: “We can’t wait to launch our Summer Social event this weekend. It’s something new and exciting, and will bring so many visitors into the town centre.

“We’ve come up with a different theme for each week so we can accommodate all of our wonderful customers.”

Also this Saturday, the Summer Market makes its return to Morpeth Market Place packed with fresh local produce and the usual traders.

From 9am to 3pm, shoppers can purchase delicious foodie delights and other items from the stalls.

The popular Makers Market will return the following weekend (July 29), with a range of local craft traders attending, and the regular Farmers’ Market will take place on Saturday, August 5.
