News update from Beamish

Go Underground at Beamish Museum

Did you hear the exciting news? Our drift mine is back open! We're over the moon to be running guided tours once again!

We've been carrying out essential work over the last few months and we're once again able to welcome visitors into the mine, so the next time you visit the museum, grab a hard hat and follow our knowledgeable costumed engagers as they take you on a guided tour, showing you the dark, wet and often cramped working conditions miners faced.
