Humshaugh Village Shop

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS, VOLUNTEERS, SUPPORTERS AND SUPPLIERS. WE’RE NOW INTO OUR TENTH YEAR OF RUNNING HUMSHAUGH’S COMMUNITY SHOP AND WE COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

WE WILL ONLY BE CLOSED ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND WILL BE OPEN FROM 09.00-11.00 ON BOXING DAY AND NEW YEAR’S DAY. OUR FULL OPENING HOURS ARE HERE.

The Humshaugh Calendar for 2019 is selling well so, if you’d like some for Christmas presents, you’d better get a wriggle on. The calendars make ideal gifts and we can even provide you with an envelope to post them to friends and relatives. The photographs of scenes in and around the village have all been taken by talented, amateur photographers in your neighbourhood.

It’s been produced by Humshaugh Publications, the voluntary group which aims to encourage interest in the written and spoken word through publications, events and workshops. Humshaugh Community Ventures Limited, which runs your village shop, is one of the main supporters, along with Humshaugh Parish Council and the Community Foundation Tyne and Wear and Northumberland. It has been printed by local firm Robson Print.

They’re on sale in Humshaugh Village Shop for just £5. Get yours now.
