BEAMISH, THE LIVING MUSEUM OF THE NORTH

Regional Resource Centre, Beamish, Durham, DH9 0RG

Experience amazing sights, sounds, smells and delicious tastes as the past comes to life. Beamish is unique - our objects aren't locked away in glass cases, this is hands-on history!

Step into the past and explore the 350-acre site, as Beamish tells the story of the people of North East England in the 1820s, 1900s, and 1940s. Taste traditional food from a coal-fired range, hop on board a tram or steam train, play schoolyard games together and pop into the Co-op shops.

Come back time and time again with your Beamish Unlimited Pass, which allows 12 months free entry to the museum from your visit - including all daytime special events!
