A visit to the Living Museum of the North, the Beamish Museum brings history to life in this fascinating experience. This famous open air museum, set within 300 acres of beautiful County Durham countryside, tells the story of life in North East England during the 1820s, 1900s and 1940s. You can experience town life as it would have been in the 1940s during World War II, visit a 1940’s farm, pop into the Colliery and Pit Village in the early 1900s and take unlimited free rides on the Beamish tram. Enjoy a 1900's lunch at Davy's Fish & Chip Shop, and a sweet treat from the Jubilee Sweet Shop - we recommend the Beamish Mix and Soor Plooms!
