About this activity

In this Private Tour we will visit one of the greatest & largest museums in the world. With over 300,000 objects set out in 350 acres of beautiful countryside, it is a museum with no equal.

Beamish isn't just any museum, it is a living museum. A working town filled with buildings and items saved from destruction & rebuilt here. Beamish is full of people in character performing jobs & activities from the North East of England over the last 200 years.

This full day tour allows us to explore almost everywhere. Ride authentic trams and omnibuses. See what schools & houses were like through different periods.

See how life was on a farm or in a coalmine. Explore the real streets and seeing working old printing presses in newspaper offices, buy scones and cakes from the old bakery or try some delicious sweets... not too many as you might not want to try the 1900s dentist!

I will pick you up at the station or in Newcastle for a 20 minute drive & return you at the end of the day,
