Soon you can stay at Beamish

BEAMISH: The North of England Open Air Museum has received a £150,000 grant from the Sir James Knott Trust to help finance a project providing overnight accommodation and a tavern for visitors.

The project, part of the £20 million Remaking Beamish, scheme, focuses on the Georgian cottage industry and features a pottery, a blacksmith’s workshop, a drover’s tavern and tap room.

Existing buildings which are original to the site and date from the late 18th and early 19th centuries will be turned into period-style self-catering cottages.
