Happy New Year from Springhouse Boutique Holiday Park, Slaley Forest, Northumberland

Welcome to What’s on in our area this January.  Traditionally the main attractions ‘Go dark’ in January which gives us a great opportunity to explore some new activities.  We’re constantly looking to introduce you to new venues and different experiences.  Even if an event isn’t to your immediate taste why not give it a try.  There are so many little gems in this location.  Have fun!

I’ve given a web link in most cases.  Please check before you go.  As with all exploring, some of our ‘What’s on’ suggestions will be brilliant, some will give you completely new experiences, and others may be a disappointment. I’m putting this list together based on what I think looks interesting.
