Remaking Beamish gets Lottery Fund Green light
Staff and volunteers at Beamish, The Living Museum of the North are
celebrating a £10.9million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The funding is a major milestone in Beamish’s
history and it will help the museum create a range of new ways for people
to experience the heritage of the North East, in a major project called
‘Remaking Beamish’. It is the largest single investment ever seen at
Beamish.
