This year’s festival,
passionate about mental health, will focus on the arts, leisure and culture of the North East of England. Users of services, professionals and the local community are all warmly welcomed.
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 not only dominate the skyline, they are also a designated World Heritage site.
Durham is a small and compact city and everything is within easy walking distance. Just minutes from the bustling centre you can enjoy the tranquillity of leafy riverside footpaths. Hidden gems abound across the city and never fail to delight the visitor.
Durham lies in the heart of North East England, one of the country’s most vibrant and rapidly developing regions. Find out more about the North East of England and Durham City by visiting
