Chester-le-EATS
When Sat 26 – Sun 27 SeptWhere Durham Cricket Ground, Riverside, Chester-le-Street, County Durham, DH3 3QRPrice Free entry
Free to walk into, and on the wide-open riverside ground rather than a car park — proper regional traders, a drinks-tasting school if you fancy learning something, and live music running through both afternoons.
Now in its fifth year, so it's a well-run fixture rather than a one-off experiment — easy to bring the family or just wander through on your own.
Never miss the good ones
We send the weekend's best hand-picked days out every Thursday. Free.
