Sherburn Road, Sunderland Road and the end of The Moorlands have been denoted as “tow-away” zones, with no parking for Lumiere. If you are visiting Mallard Days in Gilesgate, please park in the driveway and not on the road, otherwise your vehicle may be towed.
UPDATE: 18 November 2017: 7.49am It’s the last working day of Lumiere today. So far, thanks to time table adjustments, all sessions have started within 15 minutes of their booked time. Many thanks once again for your co-operation.
As you may be aware, Durham County Council will be holding its 5th biennial light festival, Lumiere, between 16 – 19 November 2017.
Due to the festival, there are a number of road closures and diversions in place. Additionally, a large amount of traffic is expected in Durham, increasing levels of congestion and journey times.
Mallard Days has decided to be pro-active and adjust its schedule in order to minimise the effects of Lumiere. These changes are noted below.
Session changes
Saturday 18 November
This is the busiest day of Lumiere. Although road closures do not start until 2pm, the mixture of festival traffic with shoppers is likely to create delays from around 8am. Sessions have been restricted to the morning only. Please check your messages from 10to8 for details of these times. No additional bookings will be accepted on this date.
