Much of the village of Longframlington dates back to the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Known locally as 'Langfram' or just plain 'Fram', over the years its population has risen and the village has grown somewhat, but Fram has remained very much a "village" and retained its village atmosphere.



There are two churches, The United Reform Church which holds services on Sundays, and St Mary's, where services are held on Sundays and Wednesdays.

The village is justifiably proud of its New Memorial Hall which was opened in 1998. The Hall provides a focus for the village and is home to a number of clubs and activities including Carpet Bowls, Computer Association, Cubs and Scouts and Mother and Toddler group to name but a few.


Longframlington has a good selection of holiday accommodation both B&B and Self Catering. It has 3 pubs. The Granby, The New Inn and The Anglers Arms. Embleton Hall is a fine Country House Hotel and together they provide first class food and accommodation.

In keeping with most of the villages in and around The Coquet Valley, Longframlington has its annual Horticultural and Industrial Show in September. Its a day for the whole community to show off its best flowers,vegetables, arts and crafts. Visiting a village show is always inspiring. The time and effort that competitors put into their exhibits reflects the community spirit in 'Fram'. The village also has a VIllage Green created under the Enclosure Act of 1855. Over the years its been improved and now provides a floodlit Sports Court, marked out for 5-a-side Football, Tennis, Netball and Hockey. To celebrate the Millennium a new set of wrought iron gates have been fitted.
The Annual Leek Show is held in September in The New Inn. The Show is the result of a lot of effort by the members who not only compete for prizes, but also organise fund raising during the year. The Champion Leek Grower for the year nominates a charity which is supported by an auction of Leeks & Flowers on the presentation night. Beware if the 'Fireman's the auctioneer, 'cos if you blink it's yours'. The club is always looking for new members so...You have been warned.
