Join our commemorations for the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.

It’s full steam ahead at Beamish during this weekend for one of our biggest events of the year – The Great North Steam Fair! At this four-day steam spectacular, from 9th to 12th April, there’ll be vehicles of all shapes, sizes and colours, with something for everyone to enjoy.

Beamish's Matthew Henderson is in the national final of VisitEngland's Tourism Superstar - and he needs your vote!   Matthew, our Engagement and Participation Team Assistant, is one of just 10 people across the country to be shortlisted from hundreds of entries.

Beamish is taking the 1950s on tour across the North East to invite people to nominate their house from the decade to be replicated at the Museum.
