Museum visitors who play the National Lottery will be able take part in a lucky dip with a whole host of prizes to be won – from a fantastic present from our gift shop to an Edwardian photography experience and an Afternoon Tea for two.

Each National Lottery player will be given the chance to pick a prize from the lucky dip – every envelope will contain an exciting Beamish prize.
Once inside the museum, visitors will be able to see just some of the ways Beamish has been supported by lottery players through the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Join us in the Band Hall in The 1900s Pit Village at 2pm where we will be running a snowman drive (a Christmas-themed beetle drive) to promote the types of activities that would have taken place in Leasingthorne Colliery Welfare Hall and Community Centre. A replica of the Welfare Hall will be opening in our 1950s Town.
Head over to Joe the Quilter’s cottage in the Georgian landscape for 2.45pm where we will be hosting a murder mystery activity – can you solve the murder of poor old Joe the Quilter?
Beamish is one of many participating National Lottery funded visitor attractions in the UK saying “thanks” to those who have bought a lottery ticket and helped raise money for good causes.
Our Remaking Beamish project was awarded £10.9million from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The project features a 1950s Town, including cinema, shops, houses and cafe, and a 1950s Farm.
An extension to the Georgian area includes Joe the Quilter’s cottage and a coaching inn where visitors can stay overnight. Remaking Beamish is the largest single development in the museum’s 48-year history.
