The following Text is from DURHAM CATHEDRAL
Saint Cuthbert is often referred to as The Patron Saint of Northern England. Every year, we celebrate his life and influence with an array of special Services and events, on and around 20 March, his Saint’s Day.
For 2019, The Saint Cuthbert Festival takes place from Wednesday, 20 March, to Saturday, 23 March. We have special Services, a concert, free tours and a special ticket price into Open Treasure, where the Treasures of Saint Cuthbert are on display.
There is a Local Producers' Market in The Cloisters and Family Fun events. For those who enjoy walking, there is the annual Northumbrian Association's walk from Chester-le-Street to Durham, symbolic of the arrival of the body and Relics of Saint Cuthbert in Durham in 995 A.D., and the formation of The Anglo-Saxon White Church, a precursor of today’s great Norman Cathedral.
