Shout out from @matthewrooke to the sub-regional partnerships - have come a long way since 2015. We’ve worked collaboratively to develop @culturedurham as one voice for culture in the county, to make the case for investment, & key role in bidding for #CityofCulture @hellotony

Mini #heatwave. The perfect time to try our new COAL ice cream!
Taste the delights of the colliery with our black vanilla Italian gelato with popping candy, available from the Sinkers’ Bait Cabin & ice cream bikes!
PS – no actual coal was used in the making of this ice cream!

Co.Durham is an undiscovered gem, & I am fortunate enough to call it my home.🏡
Now that we are in the final round of places nominated to become the City of Culture, I & other Co.Durham colleagues have been chewing the ear off of Ministers here in Parliament to secure the bid!
