About Indie Durham City

Funded by the City of Durham Parish Council and managed by Gateshead-based retail consultants CannyInsights.com, Indie Durham City is a campaign – launched at the height of the Covid pandemic in May 2020 – to support and promote independent shops, cafes, restaurants, bars and other businesses in Durham’s historic city centre.

Businesses based within the Parish Council area can access marketing and mentoring support from nationally known retail expert Graham Soult free of charge.

CannyInsights.com have created this simple website to answer frequently asked questions about the project, explain what support is available, and provide an application form to make it easy for Durham businesses to get involved.
