We'll Take You Back for a Great Day Out
Travel back in time to Beamish for a unique day out. It's a vast, living, working experience of life as it was in the Great North in the early 1800s and early 1900s. Take a tram or bus to The Town, Colliery Village, Home Farm, Pockerley Manor and The 1825 Railway. See the latest Beamish attractions - the magnificent Masonic Hall in The Town and the amazing Puffing Billy locomotive.
