Beamish – hands-on history.

Award-winning Beamish, The Living Museum of the North is the North East’s most popular museum and paid-for visitor attraction. The museum uses its collections to tell the story of everyday life in the North East through time. History is brought to life by costumed staff and volunteers.

Visitors to the 350 acre open air museum site explore a town, village and buildings from the 1820s and early 20th century. Many of the buildings have been moved from across the region and the museum’s collections focus on rural life, social history, transport and engineering/industry.

Beamish has been awarded a £10.9million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for the Remaking Beamish project. The funding is a major milestone in Beamish’s history and it will help the museum create a range of new ways for people to experience the heritage of the North East. It is the largest single investment ever seen at Beamish.

The centrepiece will be a reconstructed 1950s Town, including cinema, shops, houses and cafe, and additions to the Georgian area, including a coaching inn where visitors can stay overnight. The £18million scheme will begin later this year and will take around four years to be completed.

Beamish welcomed a record-breaking 750,406 visitors in 2016/17 and has seen visitor numbers more than double over the past eight years. The museum has about 420 staff and 500 volunteers.

Beamish was named Large Visitor Attraction of the Year at the North East England Tourism Awards in 2014, 2015 and 2016.

We sell tickets on the National Rail network for individuals and groups, first or standard class, long or short distance.  We sell from the website nationalrail.com and have been doing so since 2003.  We also specialise in split ticketing, where the ticket is split up into several component parts to save you money, and taking advantage of unsold inventory over short distances when long distance cheap fares have sold out.  Based at Bishop Auckland station in Co. Durham, we sell online not only tickets but the highly useful National Rail map which can be picked up from the station through our friends at Bishop Trains, but also ordered online for Royal Mail delivery.  2,619 stations are featured on the current edition and the 2021 edition will be launched in November 2020 giving details of racecourses for horse racing around the UK, as a result of the forthcoming revival of "Back an Winner by Train" to encourage visits to racecourses by train.  The map covers the UK including Northern Ireland, and is available from railmap.org.uk.
