The annual awards are given to the best attractions, operators, destinations, suppliers and experiences for groups, according to readers of Group Leisure & Travel Magazine.
Beamish Museum has been shortlisted in the Best UK Attraction category alongside Buckingham Palace, Hampton Court Palace, lastminute.com London Eye, National Memorial Arboretum and Westminster Abbey.

We’re thrilled to have been announced as a finalist in the Best UK Attraction Category at the Group Leisure and Travel awards. The fact that it is group organisers and tour operators who nominate the best attractions makes this announcement even more special. I feel that groups recognise Beamish as a special place for many reasons. From the friendly voice on the end of the phone or email at the first booking enquiry to the welcome procedure on arrival, through to departure at the end of the day, we strive to provide our group visitors with unique, exciting and engaging visits. Indeed, we have many regular groups which we welcome through our doors time and time again. As our groups are booked in advance, entry into the museum is fast-tracked and with so many new exhibits to explore, there’s never been a better time to visit Beamish!
If you’re a group travel organiser or a coach tour operator, you can vote for Beamish here at www.groupleisureandtravel.com/awards/vote. Voting closes on Sunday, 27th April 2025 and winners will be announced at a ceremony in London in June.
Beamish Museum is a must-see part of any group visit to the North of England. Groups receive discounted day admission (pre-booked groups of 15 or more paying visitors), there’s free admission for the coach driver and group organiser, free coach parking and coach driver hospitality.
We have been awarded Coach Friendly Status by The Confederation of Passenger Transport UK, recognising the museum’s commitment to providing excellent services for coaches and groups.
