If you were planning on bearing the rain to visit Hexham Abbey this weekend, there's something you should know.

The popular attraction is usually busy with people taking in the paintings and impressive architecture, before visiting the café for some home-made food. 

This Friday and Saturday, however, the Refectory Café, which serves food inside and in its courtyard, will be closed.

They said: "We're sorry to announce the Refectory Cafe will be closed this Friday and Saturday due to a senior staff member having to isolate.

"Back open again on Sunday!"

Maybe go across the road to Wetherspoons after your visit instead.
