One of the greatest museums in the world — 350 acres of living history where the past isn’t behind glass, it’s all around you.
✉ Enquire & Book NowAbout Beamish
300,000 objects. 350 acres. No equal anywhere in the world.
Beamish isn’t just any museum — it’s a living, breathing town filled with buildings and objects saved from destruction and lovingly rebuilt here in the County Durham countryside. Staff in period costume perform the jobs and daily activities of North East life across the last 200 years.
This full-day private tour allows us to explore almost everywhere at our own pace — your guide bringing stories and context that transform a great day out into something truly memorable.
Life as it was — Beamish Museum
Step Back in Time
Schools, farms, newspapers & mines
See what schools and houses looked like across different periods of history. Watch a working old printing press in the newspaper office. Step inside a Victorian schoolroom or a 1900s miner’s cottage and feel how different life really was.
Parts of Beamish will look familiar — it has been used as a location for several major TV shows and films, and with good reason. There is simply nowhere else like it.
Your Private Guide
A full day, at your pace, with someone who knows it inside out
Beamish is enormous — 350 acres — and without a guide you can easily miss the best parts or spend too long in the wrong places. Your guide knows exactly where to go, what to look for, and has the stories that bring every corner of it to life.
You’ll be picked up from Newcastle station or your hotel for the 20-minute drive and returned at the end of the day. Entry fees are included in the price.
