Two girls from Morpeth who have been participating in the Powburn Show since they were 3-years-old, and attending lots of events at Breamish Hall, gave up their Sunday morning yesterday to come to the Powburn Play Area to plant trees. The donated trees will help to make the Play Area look more beautiful and attract more wildlife.
Unfortunately, two of the organisers of the upcoming Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations to be held on Saturday 4 June 2022 at 2pm in the Powburn Children’s Play Area have tested positive for Covid-19.
Consequently, they’re looking for help at short notice.

Following Hedgeley Parish Council’s announcement of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations to be held on Friday 3 June 2022, a date has now been set for the first full committee meeting:
THE LAST POWBURN SHOW took place in 2019. Since then, the global coronavirus pandemic has prevented it taking place. Its organisation is overseen by a dedicated committee of volunteers who were looking to 2022 as the first opportunity since the start of the pandemic to have the Show up and running again and, once more, serving the local community.

Following our call for help to plant bulbs in the Powburn Play Area, several children from Branton Community Primary School and Breamish Valley Nursery came along on 9 November 2021 to plant snowdrops and bluebells. They were accompanied by staff and parents from the school and nursery. In addition, a number of local residents came along as well – armed with trowels and smiling faces.
As part of the ongoing improvements to both the Powburn Play Area and the Powburn Community Garden, we’ve bought new bulbs (snowdrops and bluebells). The children of Branton School have kindly agreed to help plant them. Of course, the more helpers we have, then the easier it will be. So, if you’d like to join in we’re meetings as follows (weather permitting!).
In co-operation with Community Action Northumberland (CAN) and Northumberland Archives, with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, a new project has begun to preserve, record, and share the heritage of the Breamish Village Hall for the benefit of the rural community it serves.
