It's now less than two months until Christmas and the whispers of winter cheer are starting to become louder as we leave behind Halloween.
And this weekend, one of the first Christmas fairs in the region will take place in Northumberland. The Northumberland Joy of Christmas Fair will take place at Linden Hall in Longhorsley near Morpeth, with proceeds going to HospiceCare North Northumberland.
More than 70 stalls are expected to be at the fair, which is being held over two days for the first time, selling arts, crafts, food and unique gifts. The fair follows on from the hospice hosting open garden events across Northumberland in the summer, with Hedgely Hall in Powburn, Shortridge Hall in Warkworth, and the Parish of Lesbury throwing open their usually closed gates to members of the public.
