ORGANISERS are planning a fun-filled Northumberland Day despite the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Proud Northumbrians are encouraged to celebrate their county by flying the Northumberland flag, decorating windows and dressing in red and yellow colours on Sunday, May 24.
On the event’s website, children can take part in a Northumberland Day writing competition and quiz, while there is also a Northumberland pub quiz for adults on Sunday evening.
Northumberland Day organiser, Jane Hunt, said: “Northumberland Day is all about a strong community displaying its pride in its county and that can be done from home, outside front doorsteps and through window displays.”
The mascot, Northumbear will also be up to his fun antics again, in another ‘Where was Northumbear?’ competition on social media. For more information visit: www.northumberlandday.co.uk
