Families with children are especially welcome at the Heritage Centre, Bellingham. As well as exploring the displays, where some items can be handled, they can ride the toy tractor, check out the coal mine tunnel, dial up recordings by local people in the old red phone box, use the 'Chatterboxes' to hear memories or music, do quizzes and trails, play in the old school 'room', or try out a Reiver's helmet for size.
Railways, Reivers, school days, farming, photography, mining, forestry - just some of the things you can discover in this fascinating museum, with lots of fun activities for the children.
The Heritage Centre is in the station yard of the former Bellingham Station. Inside the old Parcel Shed on the platform, you will find posters, photographs and objects to take you back in time.
Enjoy tea, cake, sandwiches and other light refreshments in the First Class High Speed Train carriage
The Heritage Centre is open from April (or Easter if earlier) until November each year. Please check the website for the exact dates for the start and finish of each season. (The Heritage Centre is open for pre-arranged group visits and school visits during the winter.)
