Another trip to the past... Fasten your seat belts, we're going to the Beamish open-air Museum. It will tell you how the North of England lived in the early 1800s and 1900s.

This is not just a building where household items are presented. This is the life! In Beamish, there are completely reconstructed houses, equipment, utensils, costumes, furniture of those times. Everything is done very accurately, following the requirements of Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian times.

Immersion or transfer to the past is also felt because the entire staff of the museum, from the guard to the guide, is dressed and behaves like a resident of the North of England of the 19th century. They are very helpful and ready to answer any questions.

After a little walking and looking around, you can finally close your mouth, which opened in surprise and delight and go further, for example, to the market. Yes, you can visit the local market, see how the trade was going at that time. Or you can even stop by the candy factory and then go to the dentist. There are many interesting locations.

You can move around the city on your own, or a special tram or a historical horse-drawn bus. Take it, for example, to the main city farm. There you can see the animals, and understand how the work was done on the farm a hundred years ago. There is a coal mine next door. Look there to feel like a miner.

After a walk, you can go into the room and read old newspapers, look at photos dedicated to the history of Northern England, look through the trade catalogs of 1820.

The museum is open all year round. So it will be possible to go on an excursion both in winter and summer. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to see the life of the North of England at different times of the year. However, be prepared for the fact that one day may not be enough to explore the museum.

Address: Regional Resource Centre, Beamish DH9 0RG
