Dogs and Guide Dogs welcomed but please keep on leads due to moving machinery.
Visitors are asked to note that facilities are generally very limited; the site only has what is listed here. Please also remember that this is a working museum, with a lot of machinery in motion.

GROUP VISITS

(updated 19th Jan 2009).

Groups wishing to visit on MID-WEEK non-steaming days: £60.
Groups requesting a private steaming-day: £120.
Groups wishing to visit during any of our normal openings as advertised, please contact us for discounts. In all cases of group visits, please contact us for complete details.

We would appreciate at least 4 weeks' notice, since we have to ensure that volunteers are available to be on-site; this is especially important for visitors wishing to see the museum in-steam, since the operation requires more manpower than a "static" event.

In the first instance please contact one of those named on the Contact page, with your details and proposed visiting period.
