Darlington is a large market town in County Durham, in North East England. With a population of 92,363 in 2011, the town lies on the River Skerne, a tributary of the River Tees. The town is administered as part of the Borough of Darlington. The town owes much of its development to the influence of local Quaker families in the Georgian and Victorian era, and who provided much of the finance and vision in creating the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the world's first steam locomotive powered, permanent passenger railway. The town is often colloquially referred to as 'Darlo'.

Such a gorgeous gift for my dad's lockdown birthday! From the ladies at @cheesewineshop Claire was great, so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and generally an all round perfect human ???? A fantastic selection, I just told her about my dad's likes and dislikes and she put together a perfect hamper, well within budget ???? Thanks so much for delivering and making a fairly old man exceedingly happy ???? Quote from Ted: "it's really really lovely, and I don't even have to share it!" ????

We went with my partners parents who are 80 and it was great fun. Alex our host was fabulous he was giving just enough nudges to move us on and was very accommodating to the older ones. We all said it was a good experience even after a few squabbles during the game ha ha. Defo recommend fun for all ages.

This is a beautiful castle and parkland but what really stands out are the team. From the person in the carpark to the welcome at the castle, this is the warmest welcome weve ever had at a place like this. The castle is stunning, especially the views across the deer park. It has been beautifully preserved and well informed volunteers bring it alive. The gardens are lovely with lots of hidden corners and sun traps, easy to get away from other people. Lots to see and do and when we were there a lovely Halloween trail for children ????

PLEASE NOTE MY LAST REVIEW SAID Ramside this was in correct. On arrival at ROCKLIFFE HALL GOLF CLUBHOUSE,, Darlington We were greeted with a very welcoming smile from a member of staff noting our Reservation then escorted to our table. Seasonal Cocktails were made, and Ben explained the structure and story, which was a wonderful touch. We had 3 young children in our party of 9!! Colouring pencils and paper were instantly provided which was a lovely thought. The starters of half pint of Prawns and Cauliflower Soup servings that we had were excellent. The mains of Beef, Pork, & Chicken were succulent and veg, good and hot. Struggled to find room for desert but the Teacake bread & butter pudding was gorgeous. The children menu portions were enjoyed by the little people. Our compliments to the Chef & kitchen staff. From presentation to through service superb. Finally the whole experience was a magical day out as this was our pre - Xmas gathering. Our sincere thanks to front of House team for making it a special occasion xx Definitely 5 star, well done guys. Regards David and Delia

The price of very reasonable and there is so much choice when it comes to the cocktails. You get to make four in total and they also provide some nibbles. Great time and would 100 % recommend.

Darlington Hippodrome (formerly Darlington Civic Theatre) re-opened in November 2017 after a £13.7m restoration. The Hippo Lounge cafe bar and three free gallery spaces are open from 10am each day (excluding Sundays).
The staff at this theatre are very helpful and try hard to accommodate customer needs. My partner was unable to take her seat in the upper circle due a medical condition affecting her balance. The assistant manager understood the situation immediately and personally arranged to find an alternative seat lower in the theatre stalls, taking care to escort her down the open glass sided staircases. Very much appreciated. The recently refurbished building has introduced modern amenities into a traditional theatre and is a delight to visit.
