Durham Miners Gala 2019 is the 135th year the Big Meeting has taken place. Beginning in 1871, it has been an ever-present fixture in the Durham social calendar expect during the two World Wars.
More than 200,000 people headed into Durham for the 2018 Durham Miners Gala event, and 50,000 people followed the banners down to the Durham Racecourse Ground to hear the speakers, which included Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
The Durham Miners Gala fundraising campaign is also aiming to hit £25,000 to help with rising costs and to keep the Big Meeting going in future years. Cost have increased as the event grows in size, and it is also due to the added expenses of the improved sound systems, new stage and giant video screen introduced last year to ensure that the crowds were able to hear the speakers.
It also meant that Gala goers were able to enjoy live music, with Billy Bragg playing to the crowds.
