A great day out for all the family. Have all your senses stimulated by our magnificent steam engines running in public again following an extensive restoration program. This has been made possible by many thousands of volunteer hours and over £100,000 funding from local donations, Heritage Lottery Fund, Historic England and Architectural Heritage Fund.

The North Hathorn Davey engine will run alternately with our newly-restored winch engine throughout the day, while a variety of smaller engines across our site will also be running. Be sure to check the timetable when you arrive to ensure you don’t miss anything!

Engineers house will be serving craft beer, wine and pizza. Kerb Kollective will provide best coffee in Cambridge

Book tickets on line – see below (or buy on the day)
