The Durham Podcast

Welcome to episode 4 of In The Loop - The Durham Podcast, which I'm calling All Things Bright and Beautiful. 
It all starts with a catch up with Cllr Elizabeth Scott from City of Durham Parish Council who talks about the work being put in to ensure Durham's future prosperity.  If you wish to contact Cllr Scott, or any of the Parish Councillors, then please visit their website: City of Durham Parish Council (cityofdurham-pc.gov.uk)

It's then time for bright lights, and a visit to How Bazaar in Durham Market Hall, home of all things bright, beautiful and Turkish.  Hear how Metin Kyoncu has fared through the pandemic.  If you wish to contact Metin, here's the link to his Facebook page: (5) How Bazaar | Facebook .  Alternatively, you can of course, just pop into the Market Hall Monday to Saturday, it's open 9am to 4.30pm.

We then caught up with Joanna Wright, Station Manager for Purple Radio, Durham University's student radio station and this is where the medals come in.  Listen and find out more.  To find the station, start with their website here: Purple Radio .  Alternatively, you can find them on Instagram here: Purple Radio (@purple_radio) • Instagram photos and videos and on Facebook here: Purple Radio | Facebook

Alice Explored The Mugwump on Saddler Street: The Mugwump | Facebook and plugged the Chinese New Year Celebrations in the heart of Durham on Saturday 5th February.  For more details of the day's events and timings, visit this page of Durham Markets' website: Chinese New Year Celebrations - Durham City Centre - Durham Market (durhammarkets.co.uk)
