A Day Out at Beamish
When we visited Beamish we expected to take my two children, Ben, who is 13, and Rosie,8,foracoupleofhours.Butintheendweenjoyedspendingthewholedaythere– and there were still things we’d not seen. I thought the entry price for a family of four was a bit steep – £46, although this ticket was valid for a year so we could go back again for another visit at no cost.
Beamish occupies a huge site in stunning open countryside in Durham, and we really enjoyedbeingabletowanderfreely,gointoallthebuildings,touchandseethingscloseup, and chat with the staff who are all dressed up in period costume. Be prepared for rain because there’s not much shelter around the site, and wear sensible shoes as it takes some time to walk between one part of the museum and another. Better still, use the tramsorold-fashionedbusesthatgoaroundthesite;ourchildrenlovedtravellingonthem. The trams have been painted in their original colours, and come along every 15-20 minutes, so you never have to wait too long.
We went to Home Farm first, and the nearby cottages where people carry on as if they are really living in the houses, knitting, sewing and baking bread over an open fire. Ben hasneverlikedvisitingmuseums,butevenheenjoyedthefarm,talkingtothefarmerand making a fuss over the animals they kept there.
The Town was one of the highlights. When you see it first, you feel you have travelled back100years.Thereareseparatehousesforthedoctoranddentistofthetown;there’sa school, a garage, a bank and shops too. Ben was fascinated by the tools the dentist used, and he loved the gruesome tales of what happened if you had toothache in those days! Rosie was keen to see the Sweet Shop and even got to see some lemon sweets being made in the back of the shop. If you fancy a souvenir to take home, you can buy the home-made sweets.
Wealsowentacrosstheroadtotheschool,whereRosiejoinedinagameofhopscotchbefore we went into the classroom. There was a stern looking teacher, and Rosie and Ben had to sit at their desks and do various sums that they chalked onto their slate boards. We then stopped at the café, though it was packed to the rafters and rather pricey too. Some of the food had sold out, so next time I would take all my own food and drink.
Our final visit was to the pit village and the mine. We began at the Colliery Lamp Cabin, where we collected our hard hats, and then went off with our guide. The mine certainly was the real thing: no lights, pitch black and very narrow! There wasn’t even enough room to stand up, and you had to walk doubled up. Ben said he loved it, but I started feeling pretty claustrophobic and panicky. All I can say is I was very pleased to see daylight again.
All too soon it was closing time, and so we caught the tram back. Overall, the place is fantastic and definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend it to any family looking for a different day out.
