Darlington Media Group is a unique media resource for Darlington and the north east of England. We provide darkrooms, digital photography facilities, broadband and wireless internet access, video production equipment and post production facilities up to HD standard. All our facilities are open to anyone for a small fee. We host Darlington's only programme of photographic exhibitions in Decisive Moment Gallery. Our work and facilities are backed up by a varied education programme, offering users the skills needed to create their own media works. We aim to meet the needs of anyone, from skilled practitioners to people who are just starting out in developing their skills and practice. We have a long history of work with community groups to help them develop and use media skills.
At DMG you can:
- Use our facilities to progress and develop your own work - check out the rate card
- Develop your skills and find out more about using our facilities. Come to one of our Arts Cafe events
- Get support to develop projects that enable your community group to get your message across or develop as an organisation
Travel to DMG from in and around Darlington couldn't be easier. We are located next door to Darlington Arts Centre, a 10-minute walk or short bus ride from the town centre.
For local community groups and residents DMG aims to be easy to get to, easy to use, and affordable. To find out more about the facilities we provide, how we can help you, and how to access and use DMG, follow the links in the text or the links at the top of the page.
Members can use the facilities of the Media Workshop on an open-access basis at the following times:
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays - 12.00pm to 7.00pm

To have open access to our facilities you must become a member of DMG. Once you are a member you pay a small session fee - see the rate card for details.
