Our remit was to develop the festival invite new companies to join, brand the Festival, launch a new website. Channell Events sourced and secured all programming and content including guest chef’s music, secure and manage trader applications, work on new features, work with stakeholders and sponsors. Channell worked with the teams to understand the history and to help develop plans moving forward introducing exhibitors old and new and working with local supporters, partners and media. A hugely successful event, with fantastic feedback from exhibitors and visitors. Channell Events are delighted to be working on plans with Durham Council into 2026 and to have launched this festival alongside the team, now in its 6th year.
