What's on in Shildon

Durham, England

Shildon sits snugly in Durham with a history that punches well above its weight for things to do on a weeknight. The Shildon Civic Hall has been putting on gigs and shows for years, while the local library runs rhyme time sessions that toddlers go absolutely feral for. Not bad for a Tuesday. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting around here. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
