We invite you to join us, and what better time to visit, than the week of the King’s Coronation, while the bunting is still flying over Beamish The Living Museum of the North. The centrepiece of the Remaking Beamish project is the reconstructed 1950s Town – meaning that alongside existing attractions depicting life in the early 19th and 20th centuries, Beamish once again includes a period within living memory. The town’s first exhibit, Leasingthorne Colliery Welfare Hall and Community Centre, opened in 2019, will be our base for the evening.

As well as the Welfare Hall, the 1950s terrace is now open and includes a café, fish and chip shop, hairdresser’s and a house based on the former home of artist Norman Cornish.

Another member business and Beamish Business Friend, also proud of their property offering is Urban BASE, The Property Professionals with over 30 years experience and a collection of properties across the North East, full of character and charm. Thanks to event sponsor Urban Base we can enjoy a memorable evening in the 1950s Welfare Hall, with an afternoon tea style buffet and carry on the Coronation celebrations.

1950s attire is welcomed as we are transported back in time, there’ll be an opportunity to have your hair styled and Beamish costume to try on too.

DBC Members, invited guests and Business Friends of Beamish only!
