Durham Christmas Festival returns to the city centre from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th December, filling the streets with festive markets, carols, and seasonal cheer, and Walkergate is the easiest place to park your car while you enjoy it all.
Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Walkergate is ready whenever your festival plans take you, whether that’s an early start to beat the crowds or a late one soaking up the Christmas lights. Our 500-space car park sits just moments from the action, putting you within easy walking distance of Durham Cathedral, the Market Place and all the festival’s markets and entertainment. No need to hunt for a space in the city centre, head straight to Walkergate and start your festive trip stress-free.
Getting around is easy too. With lift access throughout, Walkergate is a straightforward, step-free option for families with pushchairs, anyone with heavy shopping bags, or visitors who’d simply rather skip the stairs.
Make a proper day (or night) of it. Walkergate is home to a great choice of bars and restaurants right on your doorstep, perfect for warming up with something to eat before you head into the festival crowds, or unwinding with a drink once the markets close. Grab brunch before you browse the stalls, or round off your Christmas shopping with dinner and a cocktail… all without moving your car!
At Walkergate this December, let us take care of the parking so you can take care of the Christmas shopping.
