A new feature film about the Durham Miners’ Gala will receive its premiere in the city in June.

‘The Big Meeting’ will be shown for the first time at Redhills: Durham Miners Hall before it goes on general release in cinemas later this summer.

Pictured are: DMA Secretary Alan Mardghum, SAFC Executive Director Charlie Methven and Dave Anderson, Chair of Marras - the Friends of Durham Miners' Gala.

Sunderland AFC will help promote the Marras at tomorrow’s match dedicated to the Durham Miners’ Association (DMA).

The club has formed a new partnership with the DMA to celebrate the shared histories of the two institutions and the rich mining heritage of the region.

Visitors to this year’s Durham Miners’ Gala can now book to camp in the city for this year’s event.

Gala organisers are offering official camping over two nights just a short walk from the festivities.

Organisers of the Durham Miners’ Gala have launched a £25,000 fundraising drive ahead of this year’s event.

The growth of the Big Meeting in recent years has pushed up the costs of hosting the free festival, which is worth more than £10m to the local economy.

The first trailer has been released for the upcoming feature film about the Durham Miners' Gala.
