George Stephenson'S Birthplace Nt

George Stephenson’s Birthplace, café and garden is closed during 2017.
The one-room visitor attraction has been cared for by National Trust for 68 years, however faced with rising costs and a decline in visit numbers, this will allow time to re-evaluate how this special place can be used to provide an experience that inspires visitors. You can walk along the Wylam Waggonway alongside the beautiful Tyne.

To mark to end of #volunteersweek we'd like to take the opportunity to say a little thanks to our fantastic volunteers. #DoSomethingGreat

Join in celebrating George's 235th birthday!
Come into the muesum and learn about where George's life began.
Pop into the cafe for a slice of cake and a cup of tea to celebrate.
... Live music will be playing in the garden (weather dependent), so sit, relax and enjoy.
Normal admission applies to the museum, entry to cafe is free.

Good morning to all our Friends and Visitors,
Do you think Spring is on its way? It certainly feels like it at George Stephenson's Birthplace NT. Our Museum and Tearoom are open again today from 11-3pm (last entry and serving at 2.30pm)

We're getting ready to re-open this Thursday, the first time we've been open this early in the year! You can discover the little room where young George grew up, relax with friends and enjoy a cuppa.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused to those who arrived last weekend.

We are very sorry to learn about the closure yesterday of Bede's World in Jarrow. A 'Save Bedes World Museum' Facebook Group has been set up for anyone interested in following procedures.

Good morning to all our Friends and Visitors,
From today our sister property, Cherryburn, reopens for the summer season seven days per week. For new Visitors.... you will enjoy exploring the birthplace of Thomas Bewick, artist and engraver, and viewing some of his work. Returning Visitors will be interested in some changes upon arrival. There's something at Cherryburn for all the family.
Please note that George Stephenson's Birthplace Museum does not open until later this month. However, the cafe is open as usual this weekend.

Good morning to all our Friends and Visitors,
It's lovely to see the first signs of Spring at George Stephenson's Birthplace. Throughout February our Tearoom is open at weekends from 11am - 3pm (last orders at 2.30pm), but we change to summer hours from March when our Museum reopens for the summer season.
From Saturday 13th February our sister property, Cherryburn, reopens for the 2016 season. Regular Visitors to Cherryburn will notice a few changes upon arrival. We now have a new Reception/ Visitor Welcome Hut and entrance into Cherryburn.

Good morning to all our Friends and Visitors,
Can you believe this photo of George Stephenson's Birthplace was only taken 9 days ago? We haven't seen the sun since New Year's Eve, However, no matter what the weather is like this weekend our Tearoom will be open from 11 - 2.30 (last serving).

Good morning Folks!
I'm sure many of our Visitors will be interested in this posting. Beatrix Potter is synonymous with the National Trust.
