Though there's no need for an excuse to celebrate Northumberland, it's always nice to have one.
And that's come around this Sunday - as May 29 is Northumberland Day. Originally starting in 2017, it's a celebration of all things that fall under the county's red and yellow flag.
This year offers the first opportunity to celebrate in the way it was intended since 2019 - with a series of Northumberland themed events planned around the day, including a Northumberland Food Bank Challenge which aims to collect as many red and yellow food items to donate to the county's food banks, the Northumbies Awards and a Scarecrow Challenge. And to tie in with that, here are seven of our favourite things about Northumberland!
