We spent a couple of wondrous hours discovering the amazing seasonal sights, sounds, smells and delicious tastes of Christmas past at Beamish.

Experiencing the magic of a traditional Christmas as we joined in the  celebrations at 1820s Pockerley Old Hall, 1900s Town, 1900s Pit Village and 1940s Farm. Visited Father Christmas and his magnificent reindeer and enjoyed the Winter Fun Fair. The ice-skating rink looks amazing with the younger people able to have a ‘skating penguin’ to help them keep their balance. All the traditional attractions are operational but enhanced a lot by the Christmas theme and décor.
