Beamish Museum Picnic

The Event

Join us for our third annual visit to Beamish Open Air Museum, to explore the Georgian Manor and Steam Train, the 1900s Pit Village, and have a picnic in 1900s Town.

You can either bring your own picnic, or 1900s Town has multiple places to buy food (bakery, fish & chip shop, cafe and pub).

This is a family friendly event; well-behaved children are welcome.
