The Art Block
The Art Block is the only dedicated art gallery in East Durham. Art Block opened in 2012 when East Durham Artists’ Network took over the building, and volunteers worked hard to convert it into an art space.
Free exhibitions, on a range of subjects agreed by edan members, and utilising their varied skills, are held there throughout the year. Entrance is free and the gallery is normally open to visitors from Tuesday to Saturday inclusive, from 11.00 – 3.00 weekdays and 10.00 – 4.00 Saturdays. Visitors are advised to check the Facebook Page east-durham-artists'-network for latest opening times and exhibition information.
The Art Block is also used for groups, workshops and other art-related activities.

Londonderry statue
Statue of Lord Londonderry in Seaham, County Durham, England By John tweed. Charles William Vane (1778 to 1854) was the third Marquess of Londonderry, a soldier, industrialist and a statesman.
Waves of Seaham
Seaham Waves is a family business, we hand collect all of our seaglass from beaches along the North East of England's Coastline and transforms it into unique pieces of jewellery. The glass featured in our jewellery is waste glass that has been smoothed and rounded by the force of the North Sea's wave action on the beach which results in smooth, frosted, pebble like stones which has been expertly drilled or set into unique settings, to create beautiful one of a kind pieces of eco-friendly, recycled jewellery.
The Pit Wheel
Did you spot?
There’s much beauty and interest along the trail in the form of our natural coastline. It’s what inspired the concept of Shoreside Seaham and is wonderful fuel for any creative see if you can spot some of these well known, and not so well points of interest.
