Get involved
Help us tell the story by sharing yours…
Durham Ice Rink may have closed its doors nearly 30 years ago, but the memories made there still live on in photos, stories, and keepsakes. Whether you were part of the action, or you're carrying the stories of those who were - we’d love your help to bring this history to life.
Share your memories, upload your photos, or let us scan treasured memorabilia. Every contribution, big or small, helps us preserve the story of a place that meant so much to so many.
Bring your photos, memorabilia or just yourself down to the Blank Slate exhibition space during April - we have a scanner set up, and we’d love to have a chat.
The space is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 April to 27 April (10am to 6pm) in Prince Bishops Place, High Street, Durham City. (Next to the Beamish Museum shop)
