New Year, New Events and What's On Section

As promised we are in the process of completely revamping the way we organise our Events and What's On Section on the main website. This will include a page for each month of the year, listing all the main events and festivals for the year ahead. Hopefully this will help people plan their holidays and spare time so they know exactly what's on when.

We are also launching a monthly newsletter. This will cover the month ahead, giving a full listing of what's on the following month, have a few stories of interest and give our advertisers more opportunities to reach their customers. In the next few days our first Newsletter will go out to:

• All our Social Networks (Fast Approaching 4,000 people)
• Our Mailing Lists (Currently 2,000 people and businesses)
• Visitors to What's On Section of the site (Currently up to 4,000 hits per month)

As an introductory offer we are giving away advertising in January's newsletter absolutely free to any Northumberland business. The advertising spaces are limited and the deadline is tight, so if you run a business that would like to reach up to 10,000 potential customers absolutely free then get in touch ASAP!

Advertising rates for February 2012 onwards will start from just £10 which is excellent value for money. More information about advertising in future newsletters will be released later in January.

Contact us on enquiries@yournorthumberland.co.uk if you'd like to take us up on this offer.

Events and What's On Guide for the week ahead

The summer holidays are always a busy time for Events with kids off school and the supposedly better weather. But this weekend in particular is really cram packed with things to do, it's actually a difficult choice of where to go! There are Shows, Seaside Festivals, Food and Drink Fayres, Craft fairs.... all too many to list again so head over to www.yournorthumberland.co.uk/events to have a read through and decide where you'll head this weekend.

We are really sorry to report that Simonside Fair has had to be cancelled due to a waterlogged show ground.
