Lowick Fireworks Night & Cheviot Tap Annual Bonfire Night: Where to Celebrate and How to Keep Pets Safe

As the crisp autumn air settles in and the nights grow longer, communities across Northumberland are gearing up for one of the most anticipated events of the season — Bonfire Night! Whether you’re in Lowick, Berwick-upon-Tweed, or one of the many charming villages nearby, there’s a firework display waiting to light up your evening.

Northumberland, often called “castle country,” boasts more castles than any other county in England. With over 70 castle sites—many still standing proudly, others now hauntingly beautiful ruins—this northern land is steeped in stone, legend, and legacy. But why does this peaceful corner of the country have such a turbulent and fortified past?

As we step into a brand-new year, we would like to take a moment to wish all of our valued holiday home owners at Barmoor Castle Country Park a very Happy New Year.
