It's Not All Work.
Apart from the valuable restoration projects, the Friends do a lot of very important work to help the management and staff around the Museum site throughout the year. But there's also a very active social life to be had in the Friends.
Not everyone lives close enough to attend all the social events at the Museum. But perhaps if you are one of these distant Friends you could think about joining us on one of the weekend trips away.
Many Friends travel some distance to attend special events at the Museum site and find it well worth their time and effort. Especially interesting are the events that include tours around the Museum to visit the areas not normally seen by the public.
Even if you live in other parts of Britain, or the World, I'm sure that reading about the friendly family atmosphere that exists amongst the members will make you feel part of our circle of Friends of Beamish Museum.
This section of the website is a collection of recent and current reports taken from the Friends Newsletter (magazine). They show that there is a social side to being a Friend of Beamish.
It show just how many social activities there are during the year for Friends to enjoy.

Happy Days!

Photograph: Weekend Away.
A long group photograph of over sixty people standing in a pose in front of a row of factory buildings. They face towards the camera, some holding small bags and one man is crouching down in front holding a document.
This group are standing on a large stip of tarmac on which some faint markings in white can be seen. The people wear colourful clothes, bright reds, blues and yellows but the photograph is not good enough that individuals can be easily ascertained. TEXT.
