Events
To mark our anniversary year we’re laying on 25 fabulous events and activities which put the special qualities of the North Pennines in the spotlight!

Anniversary year
2013 is a significant year for the North Pennines – 25 years since the area was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and 10 years since the AONB became a European Geopark.
Great line-up
We have a great line-up of guided walks, illustrated talks and fun activities for the spring, summer and beyond! You can see a full listing of our 2013 anniversary events programme - and book places - by visiting our Events Calendar. Profits from our events will support the work of the Friends of the North Pennines (registered charity number 1137467).
