MORPETH FAIR RETURNS, BIGGER THAN EVER!

June sees the return of Morpeth Fair, and once again promises a weekend of fun, excitement and adventure for all the family.

This year's event will take over the town on June 10th and 11th, culminating with the much-loved Morpeth Fair Day on the Sunday.

After attracting over 30,000 visitors to the event each year, organisers have extended the Fair Day celebrations across the whole weekend, meaning even more live music, food and drink outlets and children's entertainment than ever before.

Saturday will see Brass Does Rock partying in the park, with a number of brass bands performing hits from across the decades, and a mini food and drink festival held on the Market Square. Various venues in Morpeth will also have live music and will be offering Fair Weekend specials.

The main event on Sunday will kick off with a free www.facebook.com/fairdaymorpeth

Junior fun run. The run will take place in the morning and is supported by Morpeth Harriers, with all participants receiving a free goodie bag at the end of the race. This will then be followed by the ever popular vintage car and motorbike procession at midday cruising through the streets of Morpeth, from the Railway Station to the Stanners.

Bridge Street will be lined with a range of different traders, selling everything from sweet treats to stunning handmade gifts. For all you foodies out there, make sure you head down to Oldgate, just past the clock tower, where there will be a food quarter showcasing a variety of delicious treats from local traders. You’ll be able to sample a wide variety of dishes from a diverse selection of local food outlets.

There are even more activities down The Stanners, where you'll find a range of entertainment including pony rides, vintage cars, Harley Bikes and an army climbing wall.

Finally, the main stage at the top of Bridge Street will see local bands including Andy Rayner Band, Work in Progress and The Understudies playing throughout the day. You can even grab a glass of fizz from the prosecco bar, then sit back and enjoy listening to some of the region’s top music talents.

This year's Morpeth Fair once again promises to be an incredible event, so gather your friends and family and head down for what is sure to be a weekend of fun, laughter and excitement.
