Newbiggin Family Story Trail

Follow the map below! Find 5 stories hidden around Newbiggin-by-the-Sea!

The story trail was co-created by families attending Action for Children’s Central Northumberland Children’s Centre groups and pupils at Bishop’s Primary School, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea.

127 children worked with us to help create the stories. Special thanks to all of them for their brilliant ideas and enthusiasm.

Children began the project by reading Not Now Bernard by David McKee, the classic story where Bernard finds a monster in his garden, but his mum and dad are far too busy to notice! Not Now Bernard celebrates 40 years in 2020.
