Durham Days

'I love Durham' written in sparklers

It has been ten years since the first Dunelm Days event. The programme has gone from strength to strength and there have been lots of opportunities for the Durham community to catch up with old friends and make new ones, wherever they are in the world.

This has all been made possible thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers.

We want to continue building on the success of the first ten years of Dunelm Days. Now is a good time to take stock of how far we have come over the years and evolve our celebration of all things Durham.

We are excited to announce that Dunelm Days will be renamed Durham Days and the next celebration will take place during Durham Global Week from Saturday 1 March – Sunday 9 March 2025.

By aligning with Durham Global Week, we will bring even more value to our global alumni community. You will be part of a global Durham movement that will celebrate Durham’s international reach, influence and connections. There will be celebrations here in Durham and, with your help, in many cities across the world.
