It’s wonderful to see our four-legged residents (Buster) getting involved and lending a helping paw with bulb planting! 🐾🌷

Thanks to all those who came along to help today.

If anyone can spare an hour on Tues or Wed from 11am you’re welcome to join us to help get them in the ground (if you have a bulb planter you’d be even more welcome). 🙏

It’s all happening up by the Trimontium end of the village.

We can’t believe a month has passed since the second Newstead Sundials Festival!

Having taken a short break, the planning team are starting to think about next year already and would value your feedback to help us consider what worked well and not so well.

If you didn’t get a chance to complete a paper form at the Cornerstone Cafe on the day, please use this link to complete an online feedback form.

Did you know that Newstead has its own hand-carved sundial on the Village Green, created last year by volunteers who attended a workshop led by Natasha Smith, Stone Carver.

It has 12 carved panels all relating to village life. Some of our residents had never picked up a ‘dummy’ and chisels before that day. We think they did pretty well.

Natasha is an excellent teacher. She has a workshop in Ancrum and leads regular classes and takes on commissions.

Thanks to resident Paul, aka Ye Olde Stone Mason, for posing for this photo.

Have you seen the new signage at the Trimontium Fort site in Newstead?

Next time you’re passing, take a moment to stop, have a read, and find out more about the largest Roman fort and settlement north of Hadrian’s Wall. 👀

The Village Green is the perfect pit stop along the way. We have a picnic bench and plenty of seating options. It’s a great place to pause and enjoy the surroundings. 🌿

It’s been a quiet week here in Newstead. The marquees, colourful signs, and all the other vestiges of our Newstead Sundials Festival are now safely stored away until the next event.

But the sundials that feature on many of the houses here in Newstead continue to mark time as the sun rises and sets each day.

Thank you again to everyone who visited, and to our local community partners who helped make the festival such a success. We’re grateful for your support and look forward to seeing you again soon.
