Ambitious plans to drive growth, spark creativity and celebrate the extraordinary people and places of County Durham was showcased to the UK City of Culture 2025 judging panel on Monday.
An exciting and immersive timetable of activities was arranged for the judges’ eagerly anticipated visit, which follows the shortlisting of Durham’s countywide bid in March.
County Durham is vast and varied and the aim is to shine a light on the county in all its guises, while demonstrating how the pioneering and inclusive cultural programme being developed for 2025 would reenergise the entire region.
Historic Durham, wild Durham and industrial Durham were all represented during the visit, with the judges splitting into groups to allow as much of the county as possible to be showcased.
