In a unique collaboration, this year's Berwick Food Festival will combine both food and film. Bringing together the Berwick Food Festival on 10th & 11th September and the Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival on 23-25 September, there will be two Food on Film screenings at The Maltings Theatre and Cinema and a mini Slow Food cinema on the festival site itself.
The screenings at the Maltings Theatre in Berwick-upon-Tweed will include Babette's Feast which will be shown on Thursday 8th September at 8.00pm and a special showing of the popular children's film Ratatouille at 10.30am on Sunday 11th September. And for those who keep their ticket stubs from either film, there will also be free entrance in to the food festival.
Back to Church Sunday is now the largest single local-church invitational initiative in the world. It is based on the simplest and shortest step in evangelism - that we should invite someone we already know to something we love; invite our friend to our church. The initial focus was to invite 'back' those who used to attend, but we want to ensure that anyone who doesn't currently attend can be guaranteed an especially warm welcome.
The main focus is on the personal invitation of one church member to one friend. Back to Church Sunday raises a high media profile as tens of thousands of Christians offer this invitation at the same time.
In Berwick-upon-Tweed some of the Churches are putting on special events. Others chose to continue with their regular services. Either way, the most important part of the day will be to offer a warm and honest welcome to people.
St Andrew's Wallace Green and Lowick Church of Scotland, Berwick-upon-Tweed will be open all day. Starting with a Family Service at 11am and concluding with Desert Island Hymns at 6pm, the Kirk will remain open all day offering a light meal (soup, bread and something sweet), tea, coffee or juice. There will be activities for youngsters and a quiet room set aside for prayer, or just a bit of peace. This is an opportunity to come and see what the church can be like not only during worship and also at other times. We are hoping that it will be a lively day with the buzz of members and visitors appreciating a small part of Christ's work in the town. If you have only half-an-hour or are prepared to stay all day, you would be made very welcome.
Real ale drinkers will most definitely not be disappointed with a visit to Berwick-upon-Tweed from September 9th-11th for the town's fourth annual Beer Festival.
Organised by Reston based DM Event Catering alongside the annual Berwick Food Festival, they have once again put together a fantastic range of champion beers.
Festival visitors will be able to sample the Champion Beer of Scotland, the CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain and a host of other UK and world medal winners.

Has your favourite chocolate cake recipe been passed down the family for generations? Do you always cook your lamb casserole the way your Mum taught you? If so Slow Food Berwick on Tweed would love to hear from you.
As part of its Slow Wisdom Campaign to pass food knowledge between generations they are now collecting these family favourites. The recipes will be displayed and a winning selection demonstrated at this year's Berwick Food Festival on September 10th -11th.
With just five weeks to go to this year's Berwick Food Festival, organisers are delighted to report that stalls are virtually sold out. Once again, on the 11th & 12th September, locals and visitors will have chance to try and taste some of the finest produce from across Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.
Lisa Wilson from Berwick's Slow Food Group which organises the festival says, "We are particularly delighted by the response this year, as the plan stands at the moment, I only have a couple of stalls left and am still receiving lots of enquiries. We all know it has been a tough economic year so this really is a testament to our thriving local food scene. We are pleased to see the return of many companies who have supported the event from the beginning along with some new stallholders who will be at the festival for the first time."
