We work collaboratively with Alford Heritage Museum. Although we are closed for the season we are sure you will still have a great day out in Alford whilst visiting this event!

Sunday 18th October is the museums annual Steam and Stationary Engine event, I hope to have some extra steam engines join us this year and a good selection of stationary engines as well.
Please note the event starts at 11am and goes on till 3pm, that is an hour earlier than our usual opening times. The museum will be open from 11am to 4pm so you will have plenty of time to look round the museum as well as viewing all the engines.
