Northumberland foodie events

Where else can you find a puffin festival, a fire festival, and a cavalcade of 150 horses and riders setting off to ‘ride the bounds’? Whatever you’re looking for, Northumberland holds year-round events for families, foodies, and festival-lovers.

Head to Northumberland’s bustling, bunting-strewn markets and be charmed by independent stalls, local food outlets and our passionate producers’ Northumbrian accents! Have an authentic and traditional shopping experience and take away fresh food.

Take one diverse county, add a sprig of coast, a dash of countryside and a sprinkling of passionate producers. The result is Northumberland’s fresh seafood, outstanding restaurants, locally brewed tipples and fantastic food and drink festivals.

Rub shoulders with locals, taste Northumbrian drinks or dine with your dog in one of Northumberland’s dog friendly pubs. From seafront pubs with beachside beer gardens to cosy, countryside inns with roaring log fires, we’ve got pubs a-plenty.

Dine in a castle drawing room, amongst fairy-lit treetops or al-fresco beneath the stars in Northumberland. We have everything from riverside restaurants to fish shacks on the beach, so you can make your next meal one to remember.
