What's on in Alnwick

Alnwick sits right on the border with Northumberland, making it a perfect spot for a quiet cup of tea or a brisk walk before the rain starts. There are plenty of places nearby where you can catch a live band or join a community group without needing to plan your whole week around it. The local theatre often hosts plays that make you forget you're wearing wellies, while art galleries show off work from people who actually live down the road. Even if the castle looks like it's been there since time began, there is always a new exhibition or talk happening somewhere in town.
