Who is excited - we are Visit info 👇 For everyone’s safety we’re introducing additional health and hygiene measures across the museum. Entry will need to be by pre-booked time slot for all visitors, including our Friends of Beamish members and Unlimited Pass holders. In early July, we’ll be announcing details of how to book tickets, including information about pass and membership enquiries – we’ll keep you updated. We’ve been hard at work on our preparations for reopening and are working through the details of yesterday’s Government announcement. With a 350-acre site, this will take a little time, and we’ll be opening exhibits based on COVID-19 safety guidance. We’ll be keeping everyone up to date as we get ready to open our doors once again. We just want to say a huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone for your support – it really means such a lot to us. We can’t wait to see you again at Beamish soon and remember we are only 7 minutes away a perfect base . #beamish #beamishmuseum #opening

Soaking Saturday ! We have had all weathers today, rain, hail stones, sunshine and blue skies It hasn’t stopped us doing anything, might have slowed us down or changed the way we have done things but not stopped us Giant pancakes to start the day, followed by logging rain then more logging with hail with gap in the middle of blue sky Not the driest Saturday I have had, but not bad #saturday #soaking #rain #hail #bluesky #logging #pancakes

It’s a giant pancake sort of a day! How is your Saturday turning out ? #saturday #pancakes #giantpancakes
