One of the highlights of the Northumberland social calendar makes its long-awaited return this Friday after being postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic for the last two years.
Months of planning has gone into The Northumberland County Show, with the only thing on the day that's not under control being the weather. Thousands of visitors, volunteers, competitors and traders from all across the North East, Cumbria, Scotland and Yorkshire are expected for the one day agricultural event organised and run by the Tynedale Agricultural Society, which has been moved from its usual Bank Holiday Monday date.
Instead, it will go ahead on Friday June 3 to coincide with the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations in the picturesque Tyne Valley village of Bywell, in the grounds and parklands surrounding Bywell Hall, the home of Lord and Lady Allendale.
