Last Train Home Festival 2023 was the best yet!
On September 2nd we took over town, bringing 40+ artists to 6 stages. It was the busiest we've ever been so a huge thanks to everyone who bought a ticket, and had a blast - your support goes a long way to helping local artists, and organisations like us do what we do.

It was amazing to have Darlington Hippodrome on board this year too, with their beautiful auditorium for our biggest stage yet. Fantastic opportuntiy for the artists that got to play it, and cool to see something like this take place in the venue. We're really proud of the line-up this year and every stage was a class day out in its own right. Thanks to NARC. Magazine & Hilarity Bites Comedy Club for being our programming partners.
Thanks of course to all the venues involved, The Forum Music Centre, Darlington Hippodrome & The Hullabaloo for making it such a closely knit series of stages you could whizz between and catch so many performances in one day.
Thanks to all the artists who gave it their all on stage, and were such nice people back stage. To Alrose Productions Ltd for handling all the sound so smoothly. And lastly, big thanks to our funders without whom this wouldn't be possible, namely Arts Council England, Creative Darlington, Darlington Borough Council & Community Rail Network.
