Welcome to the Arthritis Care in the North East Sparkle Ball to celebrate 60 Years of Arthritis Care, at Bowburn Hall Hotel, Bowburn.
Once at Bowburn Hotel we enjoyed tea, coffee and biscuits. A delightful hotel which takes pride in offering a superb package for people who like quality to come on equal terms with value for money. Standing in 5 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland, and only 4 miles from the beautiful city of Durham. Bowburn Hall was built in the early 1920's as Bowburn Grange and was originally a large country house for the first colliery agent at the local coal mine. It was bought by Ramside Estates in the mid 1960's and converted into an hotel. In 1988 the hotel added a large conservatory and extended the Ballroom.
