Sunday

Following an early morning departure from the local area we journey to Beamish. Here you can enjoy a full day at Beamish, exploring the living museum of the north. Visit the many attractions Beamish has to offer including the working farm with a log/coal fire and the welcoming smell of freshly baked bread, the town with its array of Victorian shops and see how they used to shop in times gone by or for the kiddies, visit the school where the children can take part in a lesson using blackboard and chalk, no iPads in those days!
Navigate your way around using the many trams and old-style buses, a vast area to cover and so much to see and do. We will leave Beamish at 17:00pm for the journey home, arriving back in the local area early in the evening.

Beamish is a living, working museum, set in 300 acres of beautiful Durham countryside. Costumed folk bring to life the Town, Pit Village, Home Farm and Pockerley Old Hall.

Experience firsthand how the Industrial Revolution transformed agricultural life in the region. The buildings you see at Beamish are not replicas, but have been brought, brick by brick, from around the region and rebuilt to give visitors a real sense of history.
