Ythan Sale, Durham Cricket’s event manager said: “We have really upped the ante this year and increased the size of the festival with more food and drink traders, rides for kids, stilt walkers, flash mobs, mascots and local celebrity artists.” “A huge amount of work goes into organising this event and all of the other events we put on. Due to the success of last year’s event, we are expecting to see a huge number of visitors coming to enjoy what is going to be an epic event.”
