Peterlee - Culture

Culture

• Peterlee holds a two day event called the Peterlee Show, which is held at the end of the summer holidays (usually the first weekend of September) on Helford Road Cricket Ground, which is not far from Victor Pasmore's Apollo Pavilion.

• Peterlee has plenty of open spaces, fields and trees, with various parks and leisure facilities.

• Peterlee is situated next to Castle Eden Dene, a national nature reserve.

• A new community website has recently opened for the people of Peterlee and East Durham. The site, called Your Peterlee, aims to provide the community with useful contacts, such as community groups and local organisations, as well as a Whats On in the area. The site was set up by Shotton Hall School and iTech.
