Why Durham?

Few venues in the world can rival the splendour, prestige and heritage of the City of Durham.

Located on a dramatic peninsula overlooking the River Wear, Durham’s unique Norman cathedral and castle form a designated World Heritage Site. Against this backdrop visitors can enjoy acres of tranquil woodland and peaceful parkland, as well as the beautiful River Wear as it winds its way through the City. Other attractions include the University’s Botanic Garden and Oriental Museum, and the pleasant parkland course at the nearby Mount Oswald Golf Course. And when it’s time to relax Durham can offer a unique array of excellent cafes, bars and restaurants.

Durham's location in the heart of the North East means great cities and stunning countryside are only a short distance away. Why not visit cosmopolitan Newcastle Upon Tyne or historic York? Or enjoy the splendours of the North Yorkshire Moors or Durham Dales? 

Whatever your needs, Event Durham can offer a truly unrivalled setting for an unforgettable event.
