The 36th annual art and craft fair will return to Haltwhistle Masonic Hall.

The fair, which will take place in the Masonic Hall on Banks Terrace on Saturday, November 2, from 10am until 4pm, is known for its friendly atmosphere and variety of stalls, and has become a popular event among both residents and visitors.

The hall, situated close to Haltwhistle's main street, is modernised and has disabled access.

It will be filled with stalls from a wide range of craftspeople across the northern region and southern Scotland.

The fair organiser Ian Brown will also have his CDs and video ukulele lessons for sale.

​In keeping with the ethos of the fair, the Northumberland Wildlife Trust will again be present to promote its work within the county.

This year, the fair will support a local cause that resonates deeply with people in Haltwhistle and the wider Tyne Valley.

A raffle and tombola will help raise funds for bleed boxes and critical injury packs in the North East and Cumbria, in memory of Holly Newton.

The fair, which is the longest-running and one of the largest art and craft fairs in Tynedale, always draws in a crowd.
