Message from John Bilton

31st July 2020

After contacting Beamish Museum today I have been informed that the Events Department that looks after all the outside events etc at the Museum are still on furlough until at least 1st October, therefore our event in September 2020 is cancelled.

Now all the Tyneside events are cancelled, those with this years Season Tickets can use them as payment for next years Season Ticket.

We will be getting in-touch with those members who have paid for the 2020 season to explain the details.
