2024 was a very busy year for us here at Northumberland Fair and Events Group! After the success of our Coronation event last year, we wanted to hold something similar on Morpeth’s beautiful Stanners grounds.
Our summer festival took place on Sunday 1st September and was the perfect way to end a successful summer in Morpeth. The festival was well attended and had something there for the whole family to enjoy. The summer festival had over 30 fantastic food, drink and craft traders, organised by North East Markets. The festival was stacked with entertainment for the kids including fairground rides and bouncy castles provided by Turner’s Funfair.
Similar to our Coronation event last year, our Junior Football Tournament returned with Under 8 and Under 9 teams taking part. The festival also had musical entertainment with Koast Radio providing the soundtrack to the day along with a number of very talented local buskers.
The event was a great success and we look forward to creating more memorable events for families to enjoy next year.
Thank you to our sponsors Bella Boo’s, Bristol Street Motors and North East Combined Authority for supporting this event.
We are incredibly grateful for the support we received from our community and sponsors, which made this event possible. Looking ahead, we are already brainstorming ideas for next year’s festival, aiming to make it even bigger and better. Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming events and ways you can get involved in making Morpeth’s community celebrations truly special.
