Estate opens doors for charity fundraiser
A PRIVATE estate in Northumberland is holding a one-off fundraising event to support a cancer charity.
Blagdon Estate in Northumberland is opening its gates to the public on Sunday, July 12, in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

There will be a host of activities at the estate including clay pigeon shooting, a bee observation hive, fly-casting lessons, and a collection of classic cars including the world famous 'Ridley Special'.
A six-a-side cricket match will also be held, with spectators having the chance to enjoy strawberries and cream.
