Visit Northumberland

There’s a chill in the air, crunchy leaves lie underfoot, and you’re having unavoidable hot chocolate cravings. It can only mean one thing: it’s officially autumn, so pack your woollies and let Northumberland leaf a smile on your face.

Dust off your Christmas jumpers, woolly hats and chunky scarves; it’s time to get into the festive spirit. Wrap your hands around a steaming cup of mulled wine at Christmas Markets and experience a New Year’s Eve fire festival in Northumberland.

It's time to wrap up warm, grab the sparklers, chomp on toffee apples and celebrate bonfire night with Northumberland’s spectacular fireworks displays. Follow up the fireworks with some stargazing as autumn marks the start of Northumberland’s dark skies season.
