Being named UK City of Culture 2025 will attract millions of visitors to County Durham and the North-East, create thousands of jobs, and significantly support the region’s levelling up.
Durham County Council has outlined its plans for the Durham 2025 campaign, submitting its bid for the next stage of the competition with principal partner Durham University on behalf of Culture Durham – a partnership of organisations united by their belief in the power of culture to transform lives.
Uniquely, the bid aims to secure the title for Durham – both the county and the city – and if successful, it would be the first ever county bid to achieve UK City of Culture status.
