The centrepiece of Durham’s cultural offer, Gala Durham is situated in a beautiful, purpose-built £15m building on the banks of the river Wear in the heart of this historic city.

Whether you are interested in watching drama from one of the country’s leading theatre companies, laughing along to some of the biggest names in comedy, seeing some inspiring bands and musicians, or treating the children to an engaging theatre show, you’ll experience the very best in entertainment and culture at Gala Theatre and Cinema.

As well as presenting some of the very best touring work on the live circuit, the attraction is also home to Durham Book Festival, the TakeOff Festival of theatre for children and young people, and Durham’s annual international BRASS festival.
