Nestled in the village of Wooler and surrounded by snow-covered hills, one of Northumberland's most anticipated tourist attractions is entering the final stages of its construction.
Ad Gefrin is set to be one of the biggest-ever investments in tourism in north Northumberland and it's hoped that it will put the town of Wooler on the map, as well as boosting tourism and hospitality businesses in the area by extending the busy summer season (something that Lilidorei at the Alnwick Garden, also due to open in spring 2023, also intends to do).
Originally scheduled to open in autumn of this year, it was listed by the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC as one of the most exciting museum openings in the world for 2022. However, that was put back to spring 2023 in August, with co-founders Eileen and Alan Ferguson wanting to offer "the best possible experience" to visitors and staff alike - and in December it was recommended by Time Out as one of the 23 things to do in the UK in 2023, alongside three other Northumberland sites.
