What's on in Auton Stile

Durham, England

Auton Stile sits quietly in Durham and knows exactly how to keep things lively without needing a shout. We usually find folk playing cards or listening to local bands before heading home for tea. It is a proper place to be when you want something simple but satisfying. There are always events nearby that feel like a good catch-up with old friends. Near Here keeps the list handy so you do not have to waste time hunting around.
