FROM street parties to giant stotties and Guinness World Record attempts. That s the legacy of an event which has made such an impact on the Tyne Valley and beyond over the past half decade. The annual Northumberland Day has become a leading event on the county s calendar, celebrating the county s culture, heritage and people. And while it couldn t take place as normal due to the coronavirus pandemic last spring, Northumberland Day proved it could still be a real hit with a host of online activities. The celebration was the brainchild of Dr Stuart Madnick, the American businessman who grew to love the Tyne Valley and Northumberland as a whole.
