County Durham were bested by Bradford in the UK City of Culture 2025 bid but councillors say this is merely the start in a new generation of developments for the region.
The partners behind the bid remain entirely committed to delivering a 'pioneering cultural programme with a lasting legacy', working on the already strengthened reputation of the county.
Durham County Council, combined with Durham University and Culture Durham, are motivated more than ever to deliver on promised plans which will create a county jam-packed with culture to make Durham a fantastic place to live, work and play, while attracting regular visitors from further afield.
