Early Steaming May 3rd & 4th
In steam for two days, Crofton Beam Engines represent a remarkable feat of engineering from the early nineteenth century.
Your chance to see these historic engines working. They once played a significant role in the operation of the Kennet and Avon Canal, helping to supply water to the highest point of the canal network.
As well as steaming, there will be another chance to join in our duck race and join crafting sessions.
A special springtime trail will be available for children to complete and receive a prize for correct entries.
Opening Times 10:00 – 16:30
Engine House Open 10:30 – 16:00
