Ninety-Nine Northumbriana Mural

Suggest an image for the mural and you get a chance to win a framed, limited edition print of "Hesleyside Woodland in Spring" by Rachel Pearson. Fill out the suggestion box now. Rachel has been using a webcamera to make her work available to a wider audience. You can see her progress here.
Note: As one of Rachel's many other hats is the role of Secretary of Bellingham Show (which falls on Saturday 28 August this year), she is taking time out from painting until the Show is over and she has had a rest. She will be back in September.

The Wannie Line - this exhibition (shown earlier this year) returns due to exceptional interest from railway buffs and others. This temporary exhibition, curated by Ged Short of Wark, features the Wansbeck single track railway line from Morpeth to Reedsmouth (official railway name). The line closed in October 1966 and is much missed.

Since last year (2009) Linda France and Kim Lewis have been collaborating on an intriguing new version of the Old Testament Song of Songs, set in the North Tyne valley. Border Song celebrates the love of the land, love between two people and love of spirit in a series of images, drawings and poems. On 7th October, National Poetry Day, Linda will lead a day's Writing Workshop related to the show at the Heritage Centre.
