The sun will come out tomorrow 🎶☀

It's currently forecast to be a beautiful day tomorrow (hopefully we don't jinx it), so we'd like to remind you to pack extra sun cream if you're joining us outside Charltons Bar & Restaurant for this year's Cambois Fair!

Make sure to bring along your buckets, spades & creativity and join us down on the beach at 12.30pm for our Annual Sandcastle Competition, which will be judged by QTS, who have generously provided the prizes this year - a £50 voucher for 1st place, a £30 voucher for 2nd, and a £20 voucher for 3rd!

We can't wait to see you all there! 🪣🌞

East Bedlington Parish Council has exciting plans to transform an unused historic building at Bedlington railway station into a heritage-themed café, bar and restaurant.

Once operational, all surplus income will be reinvested directly back into the East Bedlington community.

We’d love to hear your views on how attractive a new café, bar and restaurant would be to you and would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete this short survey.

Your privacy is important to us. This survey is entirely anonymous, requires no personal information, and will not lead to any follow-up messages.

Want to stay in the loop about the development? Please contact the parish clerk to be added to our update list.

The survey will close at 5pm on Monday 29th June.

Works are officially underway this week to improve the MUGA at the Selbourne Terrace play area. We're excited for the upgrades, but ask that you please watch out for wet paint if you're passing by or plan to use the equipment.

We appreciate your patience and can't wait to see the improved space soon!
