Every second Saturday in July since 1871 the city of Durham is taken over by miners, trade unions and the public for an event known locally as “The Big Meeting”  The Durham Miners’ Gala is an annual celebration of noise, colour and solidarity and of class culture, creativity and endeavour.   It regularly attracts over 200,000 people, banners and brass bands, who parade through the streets to honour their heritage.  Questions and answers with Filmmaker, Dan Draper.

Tickets on the door.

Doors open 6.30pm.
