With the closing of the village’s middle school, the Belford Village Show is this year returning to its roots, by staging the event in a marquee at Belford Golf Club.

And the community has been rallying round to help the cause. Chairman Janet West said: “The last time the show did this, it cost us £18. This year, it’s costing us £1,500 so we are so grateful to the Co-op and other village businesses for their support. We are especially grateful to the Blue Bell Hotel, Belford, which has gifted us the use of the Belford Golf Club field.”

Co-op store manager Michelle Young said: “We’re delighted to help the show from our Community Fund.

“We even have a volunteer programme where our staff can help on the day if needed.”

The show will be on Saturday, September 29. Visit belfordvillageshow.com
