Outdoor advertising work for Redhills Durham Miners Hall at the 139th Durham Miners Gala.

Over the last 6 months I’ve been working with the team at Redhills Durham Miners Hall in refreshing their brand following their recent restoration.The Grade II listed building, built in 1915, was once home to the Pitman’s Parliament and remains the Durham Miners’ Association headquarters.

The Pitman’s Parliament was an important symbol of working-class empowerment and was crucial in shaping the region’s social and political landscape. Redhills was recently included in Historic England’s series of 100 ‘Irreplaceable’ sites.

Over the last few years Redhills Miners Hall has been transformed into an impressive heritage centre, in a multi-million pound restoration project. It also aims to help rejuvenate the local cultural landscape, by being a venue for live music, cultural events, exhibitions, conferences and weddings.

It was great to spend time at the Gala in Durham yesterday and see some of the new printed artwork in situ, whilst out and about at the Big Meet. Redhills wanted a presence there and also launched their membership scheme with their own stage and tent, which needed to be consistent with the new brand.

Here’s a few images of their new look, with further project details coming soon.
