Join us at our Easter Bank Holiday steaming on Saturday 20th, Sunday 21st and Monday 22nd April, 10.30 – 4.30pm.
Our beam engines will be in steam pumping over 10 tons of water a minute to the top of the Kennet and Avon Canal, our friendly volunteers will be on hand to explain how things work, the Engineman’s Rest cafe will be open and we will be celebrating life at Crofton in the 1920s.
We are planning activities in our children’s area can be shared with the whole family. Follow in the footsteps of the Giles family who lived at Crofton, try your hand at making their fireside rag rug (and take a sample home), have a go at some 1920s garden and playground games, and step into our ‘pop-up museum’ to read extracts from reminiscences of canalside life 95 years ago.
Activities to suit all ages.
Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
