From Durham OnAir from Friday, July 10th, 2026

A member of staff renowned for his exceptional customer service, genuine warmth and dedication to visitors has been crowned Durham Tourism Superstar 2026.

Young people who attend Durham Area Youth sessions across County Durham hosted their own celebration event that recognised their achievements, resilience, and positive contributions to their communities on Monday 6 July at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Durham.

Long before visitors arrive at Kynren – The Storied Lands this summer, long before the first macaw sweeps overhead or a flock of crowned cranes takes to the skies, Jimmy Robinson is already at work.
