Well, this is a first for Blyth! 🎉

The legendary Geordie Banger Co. is joining the Brightside Events NE market next Saturday! From 'Broon Ale' to 'Caramelised Onion', they're bringing the best gourmet sausages around. 🌭✨

To keep fantastic independent vendors like this coming back to our town, we need to show them some serious local support so let’s make it a busy one!

📍 Where: Blyth Market Place & Market Pavilion
⏰ When: Saturday 23rd May 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Bring an appetite, grab some incredible food and let’s give these visiting vendors a great Blyth turnout!

What a great day at Blyth Harbour Day, celebrating 200 years of RNLI Blyth. Well done to everyone involved in organising it, those who had stalls or provided food and drink, the musicians and singers, everyone who came along and, of course, the weather for pulling out all the stops! ☀️

This is another example of what happens when people pull together and support businesses and events in the town… and it was a cracker!

Same again next year? 😀
