An inspiring evening exploring careers in Heritage!

Last week, we welcomed students to the latest edition of our Fireside Chat series for a fascinating conversation between Professor Colleen Batey and Sw****ka Paudel. From archaeology and excavation to curation, research and public engagement, the discussion offered valuable insight into the many paths within the heritage sector.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for such an engaging and thought-provoking evening, and to our speakers for sharing their experiences, expertise and passion for uncovering the past.

Jointly organised by University College and Durham University Department of Archaeology.

What if the spaces we walk past every day became places to connect, create and imagine together?

Earlier this month, we were thrilled to welcome local and regional creatives to Fellows’ Garden for a morning of curiosity, conversation and collaboration as part of Wild Imagining, a project encouraging communities across Durham to reimagine local green spaces through creativity.

From theatre and film to storytelling and shared ideas, it was inspiring to explore the possibilities these spaces can hold. We can’t wait to see the creative collaborations that grow from here!

If you have an idea for a project, performance or creative event in Fellows’ Garden, we’d love to hear from you.
