Durham Miners Gala

Every year, more than 200,000 people march in Britain’s biggest celebration of trade union and community values – the Durham Miners’ Gala! It's a celebration of the County’s mining heritage and the past we inherit - but also, the future future we create. Hosted by the Durham Miners Association (DMA) since 1871, the Gala is the world's greatest celebration of community, international solidarity, and working class life. It is a unique and inspiring spectacle.
