Crofton Beam Engines Grand Easter Steam Up

About

Experience our Great Easter Steam Up, the first steaming of Crofton's year. Watch our mighty Beams rise and fall as the engines work to raise water 40 feet from our well to feed the Kennet and Avon Canal.

We will have duck races in our stream (leat) on both days. Watch your ducks pop out of the pump and race away towards the canal. There will be prizes for both first and last duck to pass under our bridge.

We will also have an Easter Egg Children's trail in our grounds. Children can search high and low for clues to the secret answer, there will be a prize for every correct trail. Our crafting area will be open for everyone to have make a simple Easter Bonnet, Easter Bunny or just have fun making something related to Easter.
