Durham's Independent Businesses

Market Place and Prince Bishops

Not only will you find independents in the Market Hall, Market Place and in Prince Bishops, but you’ll regularly find even more in the Market Place at the city’s markets.

Silver Street & Back Silver Street/ Fowler’s Yard

Silver Street has said goodbye to many big names, but has plenty of small independents for you to discover – while Back Silver Street and Fowler’s Yard is an ‘unexpected pocket of creativity’.

Elvets – New, Old and Bridge

The cobbles take you from Saddler Street, over Elvet Bridge, and on the way you’ll find independent businesses, cafes and restaurants.

Claypath and Walkergate

Claypath and Walkergate have plenty of independents mixed in … we’d love you to come and explore them.

Saddler Street

The cobbles of Saddler Street lead from the Market Place up to Durham Cathedral – on the way you’ll find some great independents … don’t just walk past!

North Road and Riverside

There have been lots of changes here in recent years … that means new independents to discover, alongside your old favourites.
