Plenty of attractions over the 2025 Morpeth Fair Day weekend

The countdown is on for this year’s Morpeth Fair Day, which is set to once again attract thousands of people.

The ‘Brass Does Rock’ performances in Carlisle Park will return on Saturday, June 7, between 1pm and 4pm and the fun on Sunday, June 8 starts at 10am.

This includes the spectacular parade from noon, music and other entertainment, a funfair, stalls, a food court, games, a climbing wall and more. The event also supports a number of local charities by giving them stall space.

“This is one of the largest events in Northumberland and we’re expecting between 20,000 and 30,000 people to come to Morpeth as in previous years.

“There is so much going on. For example, at High Stanners we will have pony rides, a dog show, the display of classic vehicles and more – including the addition this year of live music in that location.

“The support from Northumberland County Council officers and staff has once again been amazing. They bend over backwards to help us and we couldn’t run the event without them.”
