Festive Family Fun in Durham this Christmas

There are so many fantastic events going on throughout the festive period this year. My Festive Family Fun In Sunderland Guide was really popular, so I thought I would share guides for other parts of the North East. Durham is only a 15 minute drive away from Sunderland and we love spending time in the gorgeous city and county. There's so much to choose from this year.
