Bring a picnic lunch and your favourite stuffed animal to Crofton Beam Engines for our Teddy Bear Picnic event!
The Grounds
Entry the site is Free. Visitors can enjoy exploring the history in the grounds and take part in lawn games with the family whilst enjoying the sunshine (fingers crossed).
Visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic as there are no refreshments available on site.
The Station
Take a self guided tour around the Station and discover over 200 years worth of history. Usual Non-Steaming admissions apply at the Station entrance (see table below). Look out for bears hiding around the Station with our event trail.
Song and Story Sessions
Join one of our three 30 minute Song and Story Sessions at either 11:00, 12:00 or 13:00 in the Side Boiler House for games, songs, music and stories. £2 per child. Booking required.
Crafts
Don’t forget to make a Teddy Bear Mask and pair of Teddy Bear Ears in the craft tent too!
£1 per child for both crafts
Guess, Guess, Guess
Finally try your luck at guessing how many gummy bears are in our jar or guessing the name of our Teddy Bear. If you guess correctly you could win and get to take them home!
50p per guess
Opening Times
This event will be running alongside a non-steaming day (not in steam).
Visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic as there are no refreshments available on site.
