The Olive Tree Cafe gets one tick under 'The Best Tearooms and Cafes' and a nice write up.

Helen Trussell's Books (Peter Irvine's name!) gets a tick and a good write up under 'The Very Special Shops' .

2012: Open-air Theatre

As in previous years Illyria will be coming to Logie with 3 productions:

Henry V by William Shakespeare
Cry God for Harry, England and St George
HMS Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan
I am the lowliest tar that sails the water / and you, proud maiden, are my captain's daughter
The Twits by Roald Dahl
Do you want to know why your spaghetti was squirmy and squishy? And why it had a nasty bitter taste? Because it was WORMS!

Illyria are a professional Outdoor Touring Theatre - they are huge fun and certainly entertain with their brilliant productions. Dates will be posted on the website as soon as we know them!

If you are travelling through Northumberland, and have enjoyed Logie Steading then Kirkharle, half an hour from Newcastle, is another interesting place to visit. The courtyard farm buildings are home to a collection of galleries, arts and crafts workshops and a cafe. The famous landscape gardener, 'Capability' Brown, was born at Kirkharle and the present owners have used one of his original designs to redesign the parkland creating a stunning walk around the two new lakes.
