Northumberland County Show - local knowledge needed

[flowerpot]

I did't know where to post this - so here goes. Local Knowledge needed. We are going to be in the area and thought it would be a nice day out.

We won't know anyone but considering getting a membership so at least we could sit down and watch the main arena events. And - what is the food like as also considering booking the lunch.

Plenty places to grab food and sit down imnot a member so cant comment on the members tent but you can watch all the events quite easily without being a member

We went last year & it was a very good day out one of the 1 day shows I have been to.

Used to be my favourite show of the year, looked forward to it right through lambing but I cant get away with the new venue. Train trip to the old site at Tyndale rugby club, day at the show, few beers in the rugby club, followed by a night in corbridge and a train trip home. Bad to beat for a day out.

Agree was more enjoyable at the rugby ground

went last year for the first time in ages, got there early to miss the traffic queues, so early that i was in 2nd row of car park and some stalls weren't open when i went past them, i was around it in an hour n a half and that was stopping to speak with a couple of people i knew, granted i didn't stop to watch and events in the ring as they started about an hour later and it was quite a warm day, so i went back to a couple of stalls i wanted a few things at, grabbed a cheese burger and a drink then left, won't be rushing back

It’s a good show. We are usually wrecked after lambing and usually have the cattle out which hits me like a hammer getting out of that routine. A good weekend to meet up with folk and get into the beer tent head back to Hexham later

I don’t know anything about the show, but if you’re looking to eat locally I can highly recommend The Twice Brewed Inn near Hexham, just along the wall.

I had a fantastic slab of steak pie in there.
