Auckland Project amazing, annual ticket includes access to the Palace, Faith Museum, Spanish Gallery (only one outside of London, based on Bishop Trevor's humanitarian support for Jewish families and paintings of Jacob's father and brothers.) My dull description doesn't do it justice..
Ticket also covers the powerful and emotional paintings in the Mining Art Museum, mostly local men portraying working in the towns and villages on in the mines on the North Eastern Coal Seam.
You can go back and see bits you have missed or new exhibitions throughout the year. Supported by a dedicated and informative staff team who feel passionate about Bishop Auckland and the Project.
Spanish Tapas restaurant-delicious food! Moss and Ivy-cute gifts and good food. Other cafes dotted about, didn't have time to try out McIntyre's, which looked charming.
Visited Boyes haberdashery, Marvellous Toys is a must. The Town hall has a gallery, nice café, helpful Library, also theatre/film. Michelangelo is on 20th May!
Rejuvenation of Bishop Auckland appears to be helped by Durham County Council and their own great spirit. The town suffered during Covid lock down, most of the specialist shops closed in Bondgate and could see there was a marked vandalism of old properties on the high street. I hope to see a continual recovery for their future. The people living there were kind, helpful and friendly, determined and tolerant, patient of our queries. I hope the younger generation are supported more, they seemed to be at a bit of a loose end, but it was Easter.

The Bishops Palace, the Spanish Gallery and the Miners Art Gallery are wonderful - visiting highly recommended for any art lover. A visit to Raby Castle perfectly completed our two day stay. Bishop Auckland is a sadly run down town but the Auckland Project, thanks to some exceptional philanthropy is a regeneration project that deserves and amply repays support.

Bishop Auckland is up and coming, very sad to see so many empty shops and building but council encouraging more businesses to open. The Stack being built, more work being done to save old buildings; heart warming.
People I met were lovely, interested and helpful.
Kynren run by over 1000 volunteers, marvellous.
EL Castillo for our anniversary meal-delicious!
Spanish Gallery-not enough time to get around, big thanks to helpful and informative staff.
The Vines for lunch, enjoyable food, owner running up and down stairs, lovely little shop on the ground floor.
The Bishops Palace: beautiful architecture and gardens, staff helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about topics. Thankyou D.
The Auckland Project; much praise for a community working together. The staff at the Tower were lovely, Thankyou M!
Marvellous Toys, Newgate-definitely worth a visit, Venom gets snapped up straight away! Bought a Stormtrooper helmet!
Pools Surplus Stores, Newgate (next door to above) yummy sweet treats (Kendal Mint Cake, Treacle Toffee, Butter Tablet) for your friends (or for you!)
Excellent Boyes-check out the habadashery.
Stan Laurel lived here with his family, started his profession at the Eden Theatre, lived at Princes Street, his memory celebrated at Stanley Jefferson (his true name), Wetherspoon pub in the Market Place.
A big thank you to the hosts of The Nook, without them our enjoyable time would not have happened the way it did. I hope resident teddy enjoyed us taking him out!

We visited the museums and galleries which make up the Auckland Project, they were all excellent. The local people were friendly and made us feel very welcome. We had a delicious lunch in the Fifteas Vintage Tearoom. We'd recommend Bishop Auckland for a different and very interesting day out.

The great thing about Bushop Auckland is the Auckland project, with the Bishop' Palace, the faith museum, the Spanish Gallery and the Miner's gallery. If you are interested in history and art there is so much to see.

“Nr 1 Cockton Hill Rd” It wasn’t.
“Nr 1 Cockton Hill Rd” It wasn’t. It was flat 1, 36 Cockton Hill Rd.
It was clean, apparently newly upgraded property, but…
No light bulb in entrance hall
No cutlery or crockery apart from 2 mugs in the kitchen
The kettle was stuffed with kitchen roll
The double bed was side to wall –not as per website. No sheets, or pillows. The landlord appeared to not know the difference between pillows and cushions, and did not accept that the bedclothes as seen were not up to standard.

Stayed for one night with breakfast. The area was great, close to everything needed. All the staff and local community were beautiful. I have never visited somewhere and felt so comfortable and welcomed than I did visiting bishop auckland. The breakfast was lovely. Hotel was clean and well decorated throughout. All staff were lovely.
Ideal location for visiting the museums in Bishop Auckland though their prices are expensive compared to the other towns.!! It's not too far to travel to Spennymoor, Barnard Castle, Bowes Museum or Binchester Roman Fort. Some wonderful countryside. Handy having Morrisons supermarket a 5 minute walk away.
I have travelled to 25 countries and stayed in many Hotels, including 7-star hotels. Sean, the host of this property, was an exceptional host. I will be visiting Bishop Auckland in the future for business and look forward to staying with this host as often as possible.
Ideal location for access to Bishop Auckland (bang in the town centre) and the surrounding area. Just a few steps away from Auckland Palace. Warm, clean, and comfortable. Good communication with owner.
