Live Performance
Brass Band
DMA Brass Band are a second section community brass band located in County Durham. We perform a range of concerts and events throughout the year.
Formed in September 2009 by the amalgamation of Broughtons Brass Band & Hetton Silver Band.
The name reflects the longstanding association that Broughtons Brass Band has with the Durham Miners’ Association & previously the Durham Area National Union of Mineworkers.
The band performs annually on behalf of the Durham Miners’ Association at the Durham Miners’ Gala & the Thomas Hepburn Memorial Service.
Beamish, The Living Museum of the North, stands as a pivotal cultural institution for the region, operating as a registered charity dedicated to preserving and interpreting the industrial and social history of North East England. It functions as a dynamic hub for events, drawing a broad audience and significantly contributing to regional identity and economic vitality.
Within its meticulously recreated historical settings, visitors are immersed in distinct eras, from the 1820s to the 1950s. The air often carries the faint, evocative scent of coal smoke from the pit village, while the warmth emanating from the Edwardian bakery offers a tangible connection to past daily life. The atmosphere is one of active engagement, where the past is not merely observed but experienced.
Spanning 350 acres of County Durham countryside, the museum offers extensive grounds for exploration. Accessibility is a considered aspect, with dedicated parking, accessible transport options, and modern Changing Places facilities, though some authentic historical pathways retain their original, uneven surfaces. Numerous refreshment points, including traditional pubs and tea rooms, are available across the site.
Throughout the year, Beamish hosts a diverse programme of events designed to deepen engagement with the region's heritage. These include seasonal celebrations, large-scale transport gatherings, agricultural showcases, and commemorations of significant historical milestones, all presented within its living history framework.
Beamish will open its doors from 4.30pm – 9.30pm for a special festive evening. Join the festive celebrations in The 1900s Town, 1900s Pit Village, 1940s Farm, and experience Georgian Twelfth Night celebrations at 1820s Pockerley Old Hall.
