2025 is going to be an unusual year for the company as, apart from three outings for Crow, there will be no shows on the road as we concentrate on the delivery of a large scale project in Stockton and Darlington.
In 2023 the Avanti team responded to a call out to create a celebration to mark the bi-centenary of the first passenger railway journey which ran between Darlington and Stockton in 1825. In 2024 we were awarded the contract and began work on a feasibility stage. We asked Walk The Plank to become our co-producers and help us realise some of the enormous experimental engineering problems. Since then we have expanded the team to include other artists, performers and musicians until today the core creative team stands at around 30. We surge on. The delivery of this ambitious work will be in September 2025.
Expect regular updates on this exciting project.
Commissioned by S&DR200 delivered by Darlington Borough Council & Stockton Borough Council in partnership with Durham County Council and Tees Valley Combined Authority
