Hexham Abbey Concerts

A beautiful building, with 1350 years of history. Please speak to the volunteers at the front door so you get the most out of your visit. The small museum is also worth a stroll, and of course the cafe is a must. Don't forget to donate to the running and upkeep of the abbey. It's located right in the centre of the town, so park in Tesco (free for 3 hours) and walk up. There's also a park/gardens outside as well.

We visited on the weekend of the Festival of Flame and were very lucky to pop into the Abbey as they were preparing it for the evening light display. What a treat it was to see the team setting up the wonderful display in this majestic building, and with beautiful music to accompany. It's something we'll remember for a long time. Hexham is fast becoming one of our favourite places to visit and each time we come, we visit the abbey. They've created a great visitor experience, including a lovely cafe. Other such venues could learn alot from Hexham Abbey.

This abbey is gorgeous. We went during the 'Moon' showing and wow, it's quite striking. The building itself is intricate and steeped in history. Particularly interesting was going into the crypt - an extra £3 each, very worthwhile! - and a guide even talked us through the history of the crypt, the oldest part of the abbey, before we headed down below. It's definitely worth a visit within this beautiful town. There is plenty of free parking within the town where you can stay up to two hours, you just might have a short walk to the abbey.

Amazing place to explore Roman artifacts. A must visit to the crypt if you're interested in Roman Ruins.

A beautiful Abbey in a charming Northumberland town. Very friendly staff and a slice of history we should cherish. Lovely gift shop and coffee shop.
