Halloween Evening

Something spooky is coming…

Step back in time and get ready for a night you’ll never forget. Join in for a special spine-tingling experience as Beamish is transformed into The Un-living Museum of the North.

Keep a watchful eye as you visit Pockerley Old Hall, the oldest original building on site, with many a curious tale or two in its history…By day our 1900s Pit Village is known for its community spirit, but by night you may find other spirits have come out to play.

Our cobbled Edwardian street is home to more than just our townspeople at Halloween, meet the newest inhabitants and enjoy some spook-tacular entertainment across the museum. Don’t forget to visit the Fairground for a spin on the rides (additional charge applies)! Watch your step as you enter the frightening 50s Town, the folk there might not be as friendly as they seem…

Start your spooky evening early and join us for a special Halloween film in our 1950s Grand cinema beforehand! Exclusively available to Halloween Evening event ticket holders, arrive early and kick-start your evening with a film at 3.30pm, before exploring the museum from 5pm.
