Since the late 90’s, Rival Arts based in Northumberland, has worked with a number of high profile organisations including Durham University, Westmorland Limited, Northern Sinfonia, Newcastle Racecourse, Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Active Northumberland.
In 2008 Rival Arts launched a series of new retail events across the North, designed to encompass the Arts, Crafts, Gifts and Food market in a relaxed, friendly environment.
On 1st January 2012, Rival Arts became supporters of The Great North Air Ambulance and visitors are encouraged to contribute voluntarily to our chosen charity at the Gift and Food Fairs.
