Now we need your help shaping what comes next. Can you spare a few minutes to tell us what you loved, what we should change, and what you'd like to see more of?

⏰ Time-limited edition prints close at 12 noon today: https://buildingculture.myshopify.com/

The 140th Durham Miners Gala was pretty special. We'll share more on the Redhills Village concept we produced soon, but first - the artwork.

Jeremy Deller and Ed Hall created a stunning piece for this year's limited edition print, and it's informed the merch too. It's been brilliant seeing feeds awash with that red and yellow.

The banners born from this collaboration were there on the day - hanging proud on the balcony and standing tall on the field, creating some really nice backdrops.

We even got to meet Ed Hall himself - legendary banner maker and Jeremy's collaborator. We obviously couldn't resist a photo with the banner.

All of this helps raise funds for the Gala - the world's greatest celebration of community, international solidarity, and working-class life.

Want one of the limited edition prints? You've got until 12 noon today. 👇 How ever many are sold by then, form the edition.

Here we are with banner maker Ed Hall at the Durham Miners' Gala on Saturday. It was such a pleasure to meet him following the collaboration with Ed and Jeremy Deller for this year's limited edition print. We couldn't resist a photo in front of one of the banners they created.

In total, they made three banners - one specifically for the print, the full banner you see here, and the one for the iconic balcony at the County Hotel (pic 2) - all carrying this year's message.

They also became merch, and all of this helps raise funds for the Durham Miners Gala.

You can buy the time-limited edition print until 12 noon on Monday 13 July. https://buildingculture.myshopify.com/

Each year Durham Miners Gala works with Building Culture CIC to develop a limited edition art print in support of the Gala. Art and creativity have always been an intrinsic part of these cultures - from banner making to protest art, brass bands to the Pitmen Painters - and this new tradition offers a space for artists to respond to the ephemera and spirit of mining heritage.

Responding to the message 'The Past We Inherit, The Future We Build' artist Jeremy Deller and renowned banner maker Ed Hall have made a series of banners for the Gala. One was specifically made as artwork for this A2 collectable print and has been beautifully converted into a collectible, limited edition print.

This is a time-limited edition: the final edition size will be determined by orders placed by 12 noon on Monday 13 July - no more will be printed after that date. All profits go directly to support the Gala.

>> Prints can also be ordered on the day at the Durham Miners Gala - come and find us at the official merch stall where you will also find pin badges, t-shirts and other merch related to this years design.
