About
**We’d like to let visitors know that the Durham Dales Centre Tearoom will be closing on Wednesday 25 March at 4pm as the space prepares for an exciting new chapter. A new independent business will be taking over the space currently used by the tearoom, carrying out a refurbishment before reopening in the coming weeks. The Durham Dales Centre itself remains open as usual, with our craft shops, gift shop and beautiful grounds continuing to welcome visitors. We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all our customers who have supported the tearoom over the years. From morning coffees to lunches and catch-ups with friends, it has been a pleasure welcoming so many of you through the doors. We look forward to sharing more updates in the coming weeks. Thank you again for your support.**
The tearoom is situated in the tranquil setting of the Durham Dales Centre courtyard. There is seating inside for up to 75 people, as well as picnic tables outside at both the front and rear of the tearoom, for those sunnier days.
We are open 7 days a week! 10.00am - 4.00pm.
The friendly Tea Room staff are there to help, making your visit an enjoyable one, where you will want to return to us time after time.
