We believe in championing the best of Consett; and that means celebrating the hardworking people and businesses who make this town great.

The BIG Consett Directory Awards will recognise outstanding local businesses, voted for by the community. From customer service legends to hidden gems, this is your chance to help shout about the people who deserve it most.

We're also launching DH8 Restaurant Week, inspired by the likes of NE1 in Newcastle — but rooted right here in Consett. Participating eateries will offer great deals for one week, giving locals the perfect reason to dine out and try something new.

Keep an eye out for more information coming soon!
