Celebrating the Year of the Horse!

Welcome the Chinese New Year in Durham on Saturday, 21st February, with the annual celebrations marking 2026: the Year of the Horse!

At the beginning of every lunar new year, Durham goes all-out with a traditional Lion Dance at locations around the city. Catch the impressive display throughout the day, with the fun kicking off at Millennium Place for the first show. Use Walkergate’s secure 24/7 parking for convenient access to this and the rest of Durham city centre.

The horse in the Chinese Zodiac is said to symbolise energy, freedom, ambition, and social activity – traits you can find in plentiful supply right here at Walkergate Durham! 

Finish your festivities with a visit to one of Walkergate’s family dining restaurants to transform your family day out in Durham into a trip to remember.
