Welcome

Welcome to Darlington, in vibrant Tees Valley and wonderful North East England.  Enjoy browsing this site to find out what makes Darlington so different.

Is it our up-market unique shopping and independent stores that you won't find anywhere else, or our great traditional and contemporary markets?

Could it be our exciting town centre, with its wonderful public art and sculpture such as the 'Market Cascade', 'Life Pulse' and the student 'Street Art' in Clark's and Buckton's Yards? 

Maybe it's our superb accommodation range? Choose from rural castles, boutique hotels, golf and country clubs, cosy B&Bs or stylish self catering properties.

Perhaps it's the wide range of great eating out opportunities (use this handy link to find out about 'dine' offers and Members Cards) - the PDF below shows you all of the dine offers for the current month!

Is it our nightlife you're attracted to, with great theatre, live music, comedy, entertainment, award-winning bars, pubs and clubs?

Or, it is the great outdoors? From our glorious 91 acre South Park, to delightful walks in beautiful countryside; world-class heritage to great sports  facilities.

For group travel our partner organisation visitTeesvalley can help or you can download the Tees Valley group travel guide for an excellent range of itinerary ideas.

We wish you a memorable stay in wonderful Darlington - discover the difference!
