Stepping off a tram for a spot of Christmas shopping in the 1900s Town and swapping time zones to make wartime felt decorations at The 1940s Farm will be among the experiences on offer from this weekend as Beamish Museum's festive season gets under way.
Visitors are being invited to step back in time at the County Durham museum to experience the magic of Christmases past and the prospect will no doubt appeal to many people already caught up in frantic planning for the festive season as town and cities become increasingly busy with shoppers and party-goers.
Beamish hosts popular Christmas Evening events, which are always quick to sell out, but it is keen to ensure there is plenty of seasonal spirit to be enjoyed by day-time guests too. And this will include opportunities for people to treat themselves to a 1950s hairdo for the party season and enjoy more of the fifties setting by dropping into Spain’s Field Farm to listen to Christmas stories on the radio and make a Christmas card.
