Beamish Open Air Museum

On Sunday 27th July Murton Colliery are performing in the park situated in the town end of Beamish. For those who have never been it's a great day out. An entire victorian colliery, village , town, farm and manor house have been recreated. All staff wear full victorian costume. Well worth visiting

i heard a number of years ago that they had been banned from selling traditional sweets by the quarter due to EU regulations...... so its not totally authentic :roll:

They've also been banned from serving beer to any band members, due to the band members "taking over" the small pub.

Bah humbug!

people could always change into a local dress

Yes the one belonging to a Geordie Norah Batty - are you there Big G???

You can die of thirst,not allowed in the bar anymore and don t even get a cuppa provided. If you want to buy a drink it takes half hour to queue up with a thousand pushing and shoving tourists. Why bother! :x

No band in the pub? I thought it was supposed to be an authentic experience!

Try sending in the conductor - not in uniform - to order 28 pints of bitter. MD's are always kind hearted and generous - I'm sure he would oblige.
