Simply Historic: Durham Miners Gala
The Durham Miners' Gala is a large annual gathering held on the second Saturday in July in the city of Durham. It is associated with the coal mining heritage of the Durham Coalfield, which stretched throughout the traditional County of Durham. Its highlights consist of banners, each typically accompanied by a brass band, which are marched to the old Racecourse where political speeches are delivered. In the afternoon a Miners' service is held in Durham Cathedral followed by the Miners Gala Dinner.
