What's On

Durham’s packed year-round events calendar means there’s bound to be something for you to enjoy, whenever you choose to visit – from exhibitions and world-class events and festivals, to theatre, live music and sporting events.

The return of Lumiere will once again light up Durham City in 2013, and the eyes of the sporting world will be on the Emirates Durham International Cricket Ground in August as the region hosts it's first ever Ashes test match.
