Overview

Durham County Cricket Club is not only a successful cricket venue but also an established conference centre. The club has over 50 days of domestic cricket played at its picturesque Riverside venue.

In 2010 the Club will host a NatWest Series One Day International between England and Pakistan on 10th September (see website for more details).

At the height of the summer, the ground is transferred into a concert venue, with Elton John, UB40 and Jamie Cullum having played there in recent years.
