Durham Miners' Gala 2026 | Brass Bands, Banners & The Big Meeting Atmosphere

We spent the day at the Durham Miners' Gala 2026, also known as The Big Meeting, capturing the incredible atmosphere as thousands of people gathered in the historic city of Durham. From the stirring sounds of the brass bands to the spectacular miners' banners and the fantastic community spirit, this annual event is one of the UK's most iconic celebrations of history, heritage and solidarity. If you were there, see if you can spot yourself in the crowd! We'd love to hear your favourite part of the day in the comments. 👍 If you enjoy our videos, please like, subscribe and join us as we continue exploring the North East's best events, walks and attractions. #DurhamMinersGala2026 #TheBigMeeting2026 #DurhamMinersGala #MinersGala #Durham #BrassBands #CountyDurham #NorthEastEngland #GimbalJaunts #Those2GimbalWalkers
