DLI Museum
Based at Aykley Heads, the reopening of the DLI Museum and Art Gallery will see the popular venue brought back into use as a community asset and visitor destination. It is hoped that the site will draw in visitors from across the wider North East and nationally.
Entry to the DLI exhibition will be free of charge, in line with the belief that the Durham Light Infantry belongs to us all.
Expected to attract between 60,000 and 150,000 visitors a year, the venue will be refurbished and expanded to include a dedicated space to display key objects from the DLI Collection as well as an exhibition centre, gallery, and a café.
Work will also be carried out to preserve and enhance the grounds of the building to create a reflective garden area.
