South Causey Inn
An inn in the Beamish Valley offering guest rooms, food and event facilities in a countryside setting. Accommodation includes different room and suite types, with selected options for dogs. Spa packages and private celebrations have separate arrangements. Check the specification and inclusions of your chosen room, along with dining and pet conditions, before booking.
Plan your visit →Farnley Tower Guesthouse
Farnley Tower Guesthouse offers accommodation on The Avenue, outside Durham's historic centre. Its individually furnished rooms include double, twin and family options, with some overlooking the city or surrounding countryside. En-suite layouts and views differ between rooms. Check the room category and arrival arrangements directly with the guesthouse when planning a Durham stay.
Plan your visit →Hotel Indigo Durham
Hotel Indigo Durham provides accommodation in the restored Old Shire Hall on Old Elvet. Its rooms take design inspiration from Durham's cathedral, university and scientific history. The hotel also houses Marco Pierre White's Steakhouse Bar & Grill. On-site parking is charged and available on a first-come basis, with designated disabled bays.
Plan your visit →Il Cancello
An Italian restaurant in the Beamish area near Stanley, providing a meal stop within County Durham rather than central Newcastle. Its menu and table reservations are managed separately from nearby attractions and accommodation. Check current service times, the available Italian dishes and any dietary or access requirements before arranging a visit.
Plan your visit →Antico Durham
An Italian restaurant in Durham offering pizza, pasta and desserts. The team asks customers to discuss dietary requirements and can explain its vegetarian and vegan options. Menus and specials may change, so check the current selection and table availability before visiting. Confirm allergies directly with staff rather than relying on a general menu description.
Plan your visit →Jozef's Restaurant
A restaurant within Radisson Blu Durham, with river and cathedral views and a menu based on seasonal ingredients. It offers ordinary restaurant tables as well as separately arranged private dining. A table reservation is distinct from a hotel-room booking. Check the current menu, meal times and dietary arrangements when planning your visit.
Plan your visit →Beamish Museum
An open-air living-history museum where visitors explore recreated streets and meet costumed interpreters demonstrating traditional skills. A visit involves moving between different historic settings, with substantial outdoor time. The operator does not require a general visiting timeslot. Check seasonal opening and transport arrangements, including the current bus timetable, before travelling.
Plan your visit →Birkheads Secret Gardens
A collection of differently themed gardens shaped by exposed conditions and former mining ground. Paths cross sloping terrain and varied surfaces, which the operator warns may be unsuitable for some wheelchair users. Parts can flood between September and April, and winter events depend on weather. Contact the gardens about access and check opening before travelling.
Plan your visit →Crook Hall Gardens
Crook Hall Gardens offers gardens beside a medieval hall on the edge of Durham city centre. The National Trust site also has a cafe and second-hand bookshop. Gardens and hall admission are charged for non-members, while the cafe has free entry. Parking has separate member and non-member arrangements, with registration required for member parking.
Plan your visit →Halloween Evenings at Beamish 2026
Beamish becomes The Un-living Museum of the North for after-dark Halloween visits, with activity across its historic streets and buildings. The fairground has additional charges. This is a separate evening event: check the dated ticket and any optional cinema booking rather than relying on daytime admission.
Plan your visit →Stranger Folk Halloween trail at Gibside 2026
Gibside combines a physical Halloween trail with the Stranger Folk phone game, designed for ages seven to twelve. Ask visitor reception how to reach the fairy crossing starting point, and download the app before travelling. One phone serves the family, with pauses possible for lunch. Check the car park closing time before beginning. Normal admission applies.
Plan your visit →Gandeys K-Pop Dragon Circus 2026
Gandeys brings a dragon-themed circus production to the Metrocentre, blending acrobatics, comedy and music from K-pop and Western pop. Performers include motorbike riders and Chinese circus acts. Book a dated big-top performance and check the circus's exact on-site entrance.
