What's on in Annfield Plain

Durham, England

Annfield Plain sits snugly in Durham and feels like a proper village where everyone knows your name by Tuesday. With no big venues to list, the local pubs and community halls usually host the best quiz nights or storytelling sessions without needing a formal invitation. It is a quiet sort of place that still manages to pack a punch on a Friday evening. The area around the river Tees offers plenty of space for a family picnic while you wait for the next event to roll around. There is always a fairground ride nearby or a local band playing in one of the village greens if you ask nicely. We keep an eye on what is coming so you do not have to guess whether the weather will ruin your plans again.
