First ever Festival of Minerva to go ahead in County Durham Park next month

Hadrian's Wall isn't the only place celebrating the region's Roman heritage in 2022, as a County Durham park is hosting a festival in honour of the Roman Goddess Minerva.

Hardwick Park, near Sedgefield, has a Temple of Minerva on its grounds which will become the centrepiece of a one-night-only art installation event - the first of its kind in the park.

The festival is part of County Durham's bid to become the UK City of Culture 2025, aiming to show that the county is an ideal place to host a variety of cultural events.
