Make the most of The Big Meeting at the official campsite hosted by Marras - the Friends of Durham Miners' Gala.

Now at a new site at the stunning Ushaw Historic House, Chapels & Gardens, a short distance from Durham City, complimentary shuttle buses to and from the Gala will be provided by Northstar.

In partnership with Durham Miners Association, campsite guests will be offered free shuttle buses for the short journey to and from the Gala. The shuttle buses will run from Ushaw every 20 minutes between 8am and 10am, dropping off guests in Durham City Centre for the Gala. Shuttle buses will then run every 20 minutes from 4pm until 7pm to get everyone back to the campsite at Ushaw.

The 139th Durham Miners' Gala takes place on Saturday 12 July 2025.
