We can send you publicity leaflets, posters and a promotional DVD or video free of charge to help you to promote your visit to Beamish. Photographs of the Museum are available which can be used free of charge in brochures and websites.
We recommend that you allow at least 4 to 5 hours for a visit in summer and at least 2 to 3 hours in winter. It helps us immensely if you book in advance and we will issue a group ticket to you which will speed up entry for your group.
