The biggest, most bonkers, creative and inspiring, not to mention award-winning festival in the country and we're lucky enough to have it in the North East - welcome to the Festival of Thrift! From slow fashion, slow food, workshops, music, events, talks, local food and drink producers and everything in between, this is a celebration and an ode to sustainable living in the most joyous way possible. One of my favourites, you'll actually find North in the Craft tent this year so keep your eyes peeled. And remember, it's free but if you're taking a car please book a spot from the website below.

Sat:10am-5pm, Sun: 10am-4pm

If you fancy a bit of plundering (cards happily accepted...) and sword-wielding than this weekend's for you! Immerse yourself in Morse culture with fascinating insights, explore a Viking village and then come and nab some great food and drink treats from local producers to build yourself up to go again!
