Interesting place when steam’s up
الأصدقاء • نوفمبر 2020
More to see than just a single beam engine, with plenty of staff available to answer questions. It is set in a lovely location, and we walked along the canal from nearby Bedwyn, having caught the train there. Tickets last for 12 months

Pumped Up
أغسطس 2021
Extremely interesting. A little out of the way but worth the narrow lane(s) to get there. Very good volunteer staff. Gardens free, pump house modest entrance fee. Layout and interpretation boards very good. Could really do with tea and coffee. Very glad I went.

Amazing piece of industrial heritage and well worth going to see. I wasn't there when they are steaming but that would be an added bonus.
Congratulations to the volunteers.

Back in steam again!
يونيو 2021
We visited on the day of the first firing since 2019 and it was in full flow when we got there. We were guided by excellent and very informative volunteers. All was in order and in an excellent state of preservation. A great place to visit.

Thank you for your kind review. Really pleased you enjoyed your visit. Our team of hard working volunteers worked flat out to bring steam back to Crofton in June. We hope to steam again in August and September.

Crofton Beam Engines

Visited on Bank Holiday Monday 31/05/2021. You can't pre book but it was not busy anyway so were able to go straight in. Not a 'steaming' day which aren't up and running yet but exhibition was open and very well run. Covid guidelines in place and sanitation points everywhere. My 10 year old son really enjoyed this stop (part of our canal walk) and he thoroughly questioned the volunteer staff who were there to answer any questions. the volunteer staff were able to give their personal experiences of the workings of the beam engines which was a great personal touch. Would highly recommend, there are picnic benches outside for us to eat our packed lunch. We will pop in again when they have a 'steaming day' so we can see everything when it's in working order.

Fascinating stop on our summers day walk
زوجان • يوليو 2019
Our stop here was wonderful. The volunteers were helpful and the walk around the facility was very interesting. Comparing the challenges the engineers faced was fascinating - similar resource challenges to today and the pioneers needed plenty of determination. We also enjoyed a nice cup of tea B&Q cake while we sat out side & enjoyed the sun & scenic views.

Amazing to see mechanical history restored, maintained, and cherished by enthusiasts
سبتمبر 2019
We visited on a wet day, but the weather really didn't matter as the main attraction is inside the building. We were taken on a guided tour which was very informative, and pitched at a level to allow everyone an insight into how this steam driven pumping station was essential to allow the Kennet and Avon canal lock system to operate. The cost of entry was very affordable, the cafe served sensibly priced tasty food and drinks, and the facilities were clean and ample. We were so impressed with our visit that we returned a few weeks later for the Evening of Steam when we could witness the engines operating just as they were built to do 200 years previously. All the volunteers were very friendly, and described and explained the operation of the engines clearly, well done to you all, and huge thanks! This isn't just a male dominated visit or presentation, ladies are heavily involved here in the technical side, and visitors of all genders can be engaged, regardless of background.

Thank you so much for your kind review and it's brilliant to hear that you came along to our special event "Crofton at Night" after first having joined one of our popular guided tours on a non-steaming day. We are really pleased you enjoyed both experiences so much and our staff and volunteers will be pleased to read your comments. Do come again, you will be very welcome.

Visit with family

The visit started with a guided tour of the engine building, the guide was very informative. After the tour we adjourned to the cafe for a drink and light refreshments. A very enjoyable morning.

Happy hour
سبتمبر 2019
We visited late on the last afternoon the engines are in steam this year. The rain stopped as we arrived and the sun was out inside, too, with around a dozen cheery volunteers on hand to describe every step of the process and plenty of opportunity for hands on experience of the effort needed to open and shut the giant valves. It’s a great visit, and unlike so many dumbed down attractions these days you don’t have to be five years old to enjoy it (though if you are, you still will).

We visited you on a non-steaming day and my husband was enthralled. Can you tell me the difference between a steaming weekend and the gala steaming weekend, please? I'm sure he would enjoy that even more. I was surprised that you didn't address this question on your website because for visitors who have to travel long distances, it's quite a relevant question. Many thanks.

Many thanks for your question. Our steaming days feature the Beam Engines in full operation with members of our team stationed at several points to explain the machinery and history. There is a charge to see the engines, but the grounds and cafe entrance are free. The Steam Gala is an annual event which has the engines in steam but also additional entertainment and activities and there is a charge to enter the grounds on this occasion. We also open six days per week April-October when the engines are not in steam and on these occasions timed guided tours are offered - please see our website for further details.
