Discover an amazing journey through time at Beamish, The Living Museum of the North
Become immersed in real, living history at Beamish Museum.
Take a walk down an Edwardian cobbled street, try tasty food from times gone by and chat to our cheerful costumed engagers. There's so much to discover!
Experience life as a Land Girl, go underground as a miner, explore the world of 1800s quilting or have a go at fun 50s activities in the welfare hall.
Set in 350 beautiful acres, there's something for everyone at Beamish, in County Durham.
Beamish is a large open air museum with many historic buildings, some of which are not always completely accessible to visitors.
To create an authentic feel, there are a variety of ground surfaces, some of which are uneven by nature. There are steep slopes in places, and some buildings and exhibits have stepped access.
If a disabled visitor requires another person, as their companion or carer to enable them to access the museum, then this person is admitted free of charge. If a parent is visiting the museum with a disabled child under 5 then the parent and child under 5 do not have to pay admission. If there are several adults accompanying the disabled child under 5, then only one adult can be admitted for free. All other adults and children need to pay full admission or show their annual pass.
