To get us feeling more festive, we are welcoming back musical duet Julie Wilmore and William Blyth for live acoustic tunes and songs playing in the Heritage Centre café.

Julie and William will be playing traditional Christmas tunes along with traditional songs. Julie and William are regular volunteer musicians with Beamish Museum and at the National Trust sites of Washington Old Hall and Gibside.

These music sessions are free for our café customers to enjoy – no booking required.

Café open for drinks, snacks, breakfast, lunch and sweet treats – seating both indoors and outdoors if you fancy braving the frosty weather. As always, we’re dog friendly, so no need to sit outside (all dogs on short leads inside and around the Heritage Centre please).

Polite notice – only refreshments/food bought in our café can be eaten in and around the Heritage Centre (including our benches and planting areas). If bringing your own food/picnic you are very welcome to use the field area just over the mound from the Heritage Centre or the benches around the park.
