Christmas at Beamish

At weekends you can immerse yourself in Christmas at Beamish. Enjoy some Christmas shopping in the Town, sample some Christmas treats at Home Farm and Pockerley Old Hall, and see homes decorated as they would have been in festive seasons gone by.

Have a go at Ice Skating in the Pit Village, or visit Father Christmas in his magical fireside Grotto. There is something for the whole family to enjoy!
