MUSEUM OPENING TIMES The opening time of 1pm applies to both steam AND non-steam days. The same closing time of 5pm remains. These are the USUAL times, however if an event in the diary gives a different range, then those will take precedent. E.g New Year's Day 2010.
Visitors planning to travel a distance, please CHECK FIRST with a WZ contact before, to establish what is happening on your chosen day. Volunteer availability fluctuates like a tide, so events can alter. The webmaster will endeavour to keep all information fully up to date, but eleventh-hour changes may not be recorded.
Dates to note for the future: Saturday June 4th and Sunday June 5th 2011: the 150th Anniversary of the Easton and Amos pumping engine. More details will be placed online nearer the time.
Please note these dates and arrangements are subject to alteration, especially the Easter period, which is currently suggesting three steaming-days. We suggest you check back here regularly for updates.
