Durham events, clubs, gigs and what's on

Whether you're a local or just visiting for the weekend, there's so much on offer when you’re looking for what's on in Durham. The county city will be known countrywide for its world heritage status University - housed in the old castle - and Cathedral. Admiring the historic city and its stunning architecture is a sight to behold, and definitely one of its main attractions.

But, when looking for Durham events, your experience is much more grounded in the present. See live music at O2 City Hall and party until the early hours at Klute. If you’re after some live theatre then check out The Gala Theatre.
