All of the town was lit up with traditional Victorian styled lighting, and to see the trams lit up was fantastic! Beamish went all out and I was transported back in time to witness classic street carol singers and merchants with stalls in the park.
As we waited to enter the museum grounds, cups of tea were bought and drank gratefully.
We didn't have to wait long before we were allowed in. A stampede of people rushed in; I was only too happy to be on the shoulder of one of my friends!
The town was worthy to be on the front of a Christmas card; with the trams brightly lit and the Christmas tree standing tall, it was a wonderful sight.
The whole town was so beautifully picturesque.
After looking round the shops and the small market in the park for present idea's, traditional coal stoked fish and chips were beckoning!
We had to wait well over an hour for them but golly, they were worth it!
Once eaten and cleaned up, we allowed for the rather large portion to settle whilst listening to a small choir in the Pitt Village church.
Back in the town, I bought what I thought would make great Christmas presents and admired the scenery yet again.
It is just so stunning here at Christmas!
Before heading home, a much needed cup of tea was needed and I was more than welcome to drink it!
