The fun doesn't have to end on a rainy day. Take a look at our itinerary for rainy day ideas in Darlington.

Vue Cinema

Vue Cinema can be found in the DL1 leisure complex. This family-friendly cinema shows all of the latest movie releases, and often nostalgic favourites, on the big screen. Find all of the Darlington venue's latest screenings here.

Head to a Soft Play

If you are planning a rainy day out with children, why not try out one of Darlington's many soft plays? There are several fun soft plays in the town, including Under the Sea softplay at the Dolphin Centre, Imagizone and Roarsome.

Dolphin Centre

The Dolphin Centre is a fab place to spend a rainy day. The leisure centre has all sorts tucked inside, so you'll never get bored. There's a large swimming pool, a diving pool and two water slides, a gym, courts/pitches to rent, 5 bowling alleys and a café.

Covered shopping

Just because it's raining doesn't mean that you can't go shopping in the town centre! The Cornmill and Queen Street both offer a covered shopping experience, meaning you can enjoy the thrill of shopping in your favourite high street brands and independents all within one building.

Grab a sweet treat

Darlington town centre is bursting with fabulous cafés, with a mix of independent and recognisable brands. There is no better way to whistle away a rainy day than to grab a hot drink and a sweet treat, and get cosy in a café. Take a look at our Business Directory for Darlington's cafés.

Catch a theatre show

If it's a rainy day, why not spend an afternoon or an evening indoors enjoying a theatre show? Darlington is home to three marvellous theatres - The Hippodrome, Theatre Hullabaloo and The Majestic. Find out What's On on each of their websites.
