Durham County Cricket Club

Durham County Cricket Club is not only a successful cricket venue but also an established conference centre. The club has over 50 days of domestic cricket played at its picturesque riverside venue.

In 2008 the Club will host the England v New Zealand match in the first NatWest One Day international of the series on Sunday 15th June and on Wednesday 20th August England will play South Africa in a NatWest International Twenty20 match (see website for more details).

At the height of the summer, the ground is transferred into a concert venue, with Elton John, UB40 and Jamie Cullum having played there in recent years.
