May 2011

Paxton House is just 10 minutes away by car from The Old Vicarage Guesthouse here in Berwick-upon-Tweed. It is a lovely place to visit at just about any time of the year, but the summer music season is special. Their 2011 festival runs from the 15th July to the 24th July. For details check out their web-site http://www.musicatpaxton.co.uk
Pre-concert suppers are available and a stroll around the grounds is a must on a summer's afternoon. Plan a visit to Paxton, with a stay here at the Old Vic and take advantage of any special offers we may have - just ask for details. Demonstrations of salmon fishing and tagging are on-going through the summer, and the galleries showcase the work of artists and craftspeople from The Borders and North Northumberland. Wildlife lovers can enjoy the hides for excellent views of birds including nuthatches, woodpeckers and even red squirrels.
