Durham Live: Master Planned Entertainment District

Durham Live is a once in a lifetime opportunity to develop a world class, iconic destination, right here in Pickering.

It will be designed to deliver excitement, energy and entertainment for young and old alike, a place where we can be proud to invite the world - all just down the street at Church and Bayly, in Pickering.

When complete, we will invite the world to Pickering. As Durham Live will be fully integrated and act as the central hub for all regional tourism, it will revitalize and energize the regional tourist industry.
