Merry Morpeth Christmas only begins here! The Pavilion will be accompanied with a tipi over November and December for people to come along and enjoy warm mulled wine and cider under the stars in Carlisle Park.
The Big Morpeth Christmas Trail will also be on with a scavenger hunt to win a luxury hamper made up of spectacular gifts you can get around Morpeth businesses. Head around the town centre and keep a keen eye on shop windows that have a Christmas question or a small elf. See our Christmas Trail page for more info.
Make sure to pick up your Christmas map at the Pavilion or participating businesses.
