Why are you asking TSR, when Durham will directly tell you what the requirements are?

Assuming you meet the typical offer, yes, it's likely you'll be considered and that's about as much as anyone can tell you.

NB. You are likely spreading yourself too thin trying to cover all that with your PS.

Yes you have great stats you certainly have a good chance. If you are running out of space on your personal statement maybe drop the year 5 outreach program as it is sort of irrelevant as it was so long ago and the visiting museums if you are going to talk about work experience at a museum anyway

OP's grades including predicted grades are about at the lower/bottom end of what's likely to pass muster but they're within the acceptable range. I'd be tempted to strike out at least two of the proposed PS items.
