The annual Thropton Village First School Christmas shopping night has not only moved to Thropton Village Hall, but has now become more of a Christmas Market style event on a Saturday morning. It’s always a favourite and lots of fun, I’m very much looking forward to it.

Amble WI are holding this craft show and if it’s anything like my like my first show in the Spring, it’ll be worth getting in early. There’s also lots to see and do on the busy quayside, all makes for a great day out.

The last show of the season and it’s best to get here early, it’s very popular and well attended. There’s only two roads in, they soon get busy and traffic backs up. Last year the wifi for taking payments worked seamlessly, I would still advise bringing cash though, just in case. There’s a website here and there’s also a facebook page too.

A traditional sheep show, situated in the Bremium Roman Fort. Sheep judging starts about 11:00am and it’s certainly worth getting in before it starts. There’s a Facebook page for more info and details, mainly active closer to the show.

My first time with a stand, very much looking forward to it. It’s always a great day out, just check out my photos from last year here. There’s a website, a facebook page, there’s even instagram.

This will be the 150th Harbottle Show and 10 years since I had my first stand here. There’s lots on the website, some nice photos too, there’s also a Facebook page.

There’s a lot more information and details on the Glendale Show website. There’s a very active facebook page, often featuring some of my photos. Discounted tickets can currently be booked here.

If Glanton wasn’t enough, then Simonside makes for a great weekend. The fair opens at 11:00am for parking and some events, but it really gets going with the Rothbury Highland Pipeband in the main ring at 12:00 noon. There’s a facebook page with more details and information.

For more information, please visit the Glanton Show website. There is also a facebook page here, which is very active and has a lot more information. This year the show has moved to the two fields on the right hand side as you drive into Glanton from A697, I’ll update when I can.
