Spring Breaks
Spring is a wonderful time of year to visit Durham with nature bursting into new life.
From fun filled family days out, to cosy countryside escapes and luxury spa breaks, Durham is the perfect place to shake off those cobwebs and recharge your batteries for the year ahead.
At this special time of year, the Durham Dales, North Pennines, and Durham Heritage Coast explode with colour and wonderful wildlife, so you’ll never be short of stunning sights as you explore the great outdoors. The county’s picturesque parks and glorious gardens also make for memorable days out as you soak up the springtime sunshine.
Spring 2022 also brings with it an exciting line up of events and festivals, including Bishop Auckland Food Festival, Durham Regatta, World Heritage Day, and extra special events celebrating her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Plus, many attractions that closed for winter begin to re-open, with a wonderful line-up of new exhibitions, events and activities for all to enjoy.
From Mother’s Day and Easter, to bank holidays a plenty, there’s lots to celebrate this spring. Make the most of Durham this spring with delicious food and drink, amazing events, incredible days out, and well-deserved nights away. There’s something for everyone.
