A former Marks & Spencer store in Durham city centre is set to be transformed into a new STACK entertainment venue offering food, drink and live music.
It comes after the Danieli Group's plans for the multi-storey site on Silver Street received the green light from councillors today (April 11). The popular venue owner has set its sights on Durham as part of expansion plans across the North East, building on the success of its Newcastle and Seaburn venues. Plans for a similar venue in Bishop Auckland have already been approved.
Although STACK is known for converting old shipping containers into multi-purpose units, the new Durham venue will see developers bring the former M&S back into full use. The site is currently occupied by the Yorkshire Trading Company discount store but only the ground floor is open.
