Steaming Saturday – 24 July 2021

The 1812 Boulton & Watt Beam Engine will be steaming again on 24 July.

Advance purchase of timed tickets to the site is recommended for Saturday 24 July.

A pre-paid timed ticket will guarantee entry

We will be firing up the boiler on the Saturday only.

We will be open, but not steaming, on Sunday 25 July.

Please remember that the café is closed, and that public access to the site is by the main
gate only. No access from the lower canal entrance at lock 60. This helps our hard-working
volunteers and staff regulate visitor numbers to the site and keep COVID safe.
