Ah! The beauty [complexity] of the varied administrational boundaries of English counties/dioceses!

Here's a list of the parish registers that we hold, with their covering dates:

Have you been to the Gathering?

Do you have any memories or photographs that you would like to share?

Please feel free to add them to this thread! 😀👍

At Northumberland Archives we have a small collection of programmes and posters from some of the early festivals, as well as the 'Northumbrian Anthology No.3’ - a collection of dialect competition entries from the gathering held in 1973.

The Gathering has taken place annually since 1968, celebrating the folk traditions of Northumberland.

Where else can you hear fiddles, accordions and the Northumbrian smallpipes, as well as watch clog dancers, hear regional dialect reciting and get involved in local crafts, all in one weekend! 🎻💃
