****BREAKING NEWS****
Today Hexham declared itself the first 'Arts Town in the UK' - with a huge showcase of the creative talent we have right here in our small town. We pack a local and international punch...from choirs, blues dancing, over 55 dancing, ceilidh, dramatic arts, textile clubs, writing groups, art classes, urban sketchers, brass bands, art society lectures right through to a sixth Nobel Prize for literature this week for a locally-based, international publisher - that's more than some countries!
Contact details for some of the organisations are next to each photo...but if you'd like to contact any of them please get in touch with us in this page...it was an amazing launch of what will cumulate in a formal event to 'crown us' next spring 2027.
So watch this space...or maybe fill it with your creativity.
