The Chronicle
|October 07, 2025
NEW community allotments designed to boost health and wellbeing have been opened at Beamish, The Living Museum of the North.
12 new community allotments are designed to reflect traditional 1950s-style allotments
The site, supported by funding from North East employer the Banks Group, will also deliver education programmes.
The open-air attraction, which recently announced the return of popular after-hours Halloween evenings and magical Christmas nights, has now welcomed a new allotment project to the mix.
The 12 allotment plots in the award-winning County Durham museum's 1950s Town will give people the chance to get involved in gardening and enjoy its physical and mental health benefits.
Among those using the plots will be people living with dementia or who have additional needs, carers, local community groups, staff and volunteers.
