Crofton Beam Engines Great Easter Steam Up
The first steaming of Crofton’s year. Watch our mighty Beams rise and fall as the engines work to raise water 40 feet from our well to feed the Kennet and Avon Canal.
We will have duck races in our stream (leat) on both days, with prizes for both first and last duck.
Around the grounds there will be an Easter Egg Trail, and a Word Trail. Our craft area will be open for everyone to make a simple Easter Bonnet, a Kennet & Avon Colouring competition. Or just have fun making something.
Opening Times 10:00 – 16:30
Engine House Open 10:30 – 16:00
Car Park Closes 17:00
