About Billingham

Known for

The Billingham International Folklore Festival (one of Europe's oldest folk festivals), the chemical industry heritage (ICI was established here), the Forum leisure centre, and a Teesside industrial town with an unexpected cultural reputation

A little history

Billingham became a major chemical manufacturing centre when ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) established operations here in the 1920s. The Billingham International Folklore Festival, founded in 1965, has brought folk dancers and musicians from over 50 countries.

Local tip

The Folklore Festival in August is extraordinary — genuinely international and free to watch in town. The Forum for leisure. The Tees heritage in the surrounding area.
