What's on in New Shildon

Durham, England

New Shildon sits snugly in Durham where the hills roll gently over the valley floor. There are plenty of local clubs hosting quiz nights and community groups putting on plays for good measure. It is a quiet place that knows how to keep things lively without needing a single big venue. We have been tracking down the best local gatherings so you can plan your evening with ease. The town centre often hosts street fairs and pop-up markets when the weather permits. Near Here keeps an eye on what is going on right here so you never miss a chance to chat with neighbours.
