What’s On
Welcome to your guide to what's on in Durham.
The county’s packed year-round calendar of events means you’re certain to have an eventful time, whenever you choose to visit.
Durham hosts world-class shows such as Kynren at Bishop Auckland and Lumiere Durham Light Festival. Search for things on at the weekend in the North East, catch a show at The Gala Theatre or visit at key times such as in the summer where you will see the county play host to the ICC Cricket World Cup, including England’s final group game against New Zealand, or come later in the year for Beamish Halloween, Christmas and more.
Some of the county’s most iconic attractions also have exciting new experiences for visitors in 2019. Auckland Castle, the 900-year-old former home of the Prince Bishops of Durham and one of the best preserved medieval bishops’ palaces in Europe will once again welcome visitors, whilst Durham Cathedral Tower will reopen following conservation works to preserve it for future generations. And at Beamish Museum the £18million Remaking Beamish scheme continues, creating a range of new ways for people to experience the heritage of the North East.
Whether it’s a food festival getting your taste buds tingling, music or dance getting your toes tapping, drama putting you on the edge of your seat, an exhibition that opens your eyes, a heritage event bringing the past to life or a festival that lets you get back to nature – you’re certain to have an eventful time when staying in Durham.
