Join the Durham Miners Association at the famous 100 Club on London’s Oxford Street. All proceeds will go to the Marras – Friends of Durham Miners Gala.
The 1984-85 Miners Strike was a pivotal moment in modern British history. Within a decade of the end of the strike, every mine on the Durham coalfield had been closed. But the Durham Miners Gala has survived as a symbol of defiance and a beacon of hope. It is now the largest trade union event in Europe and a wonderful celebration of community and working class life.
