Event organiser, Philip Angier, said: “Northumberland was recently voted best UK holiday destination by readers of travel magazine, Wanderlust.

“Seeing the quality and variety of what was on show at the fair, the award should come as no surprise.

“This year’s event was our busiest ever tourism fair and I would like to thank everyone who supported the event.”

A show-stopper at the event was the luxury shepherd’s hut created by Seahouses-based RDesign.
