What's on in Thickley, East

Thickley sits snug in Durham with a quiet charm that makes it easy to forget you're not in a capital city at all. There are plenty of local groups putting on plays and choirs rehearsing for the annual festival without needing a grand stage. It's a place where the community looks after its own, even if the nearest big box office is miles away. You'll find folk dancing classes and book clubs popping up regularly so there's never a dull moment in this corner of the north east. The local hall hosts everything from family days out to charity nights that keep the neighbours laughing. It doesn't matter what day it is; someone nearby is always doing something fun for the whole street.
