It may be cold at the moment, but one of the biggest events in Northumberland is less than four months away.

Morpeth Fair Day is now a weekend of fun in early June and there will be plenty of attractions to enjoy.

More information about all the activities as the countdown continues will be available on the Morpeth Fair Day Facebook page.

To whet people’s appetites, we therefore thought it would be nice to look at a selection of photos from previous Morpeth Fair Days from our archives.
