Durham Miners’ Gala 2023

Follow the Houghton Lodge and Lambton Lodge banners on their visit to the Durham Miners’ Gala on Saturday July 8th 2023.
We also get to see colourful scenes of other colliery banners and brass bands at the 137th ‘Big Meeting’ - and how nobody allows the rainstorm to spoil the celebrations!

Yes the mines are long closed down, but our struggle for a fair and just society continues. Workers of all lands unite.
