This pop-up shop brings the story of the City of Durham to a temporary home at Prince Bishops Place, No. 39 High Street, just off Durham Market Place, having formerly been housed in St Mary le Bow church. It's a small, free-to-browse project born from a partnership between Durham Museum, Beamish Museum, Durham Castle and Cathedral UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Durham County Council, making it a good quick stop for anyone exploring the city centre's heritage. It's open Thursday to Saturday from 14th August. With Durham station just 0.4 miles away and 33 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's an easy addition to a short city break itinerary.
