Engines and beer, anyone?
It's all happening at the Pumphouse this Sunday! Not only are we hosting the Contemporary Cask Fest E17 Beer Festival, but it's also our monthly engine running day! The Victorian horizontal engines will be running at 12 and 2. Sounds like a perfect day out, right?
Bolton Steam Museum
If you find yourself in Lancashire we highly recommend a visit to the marvellous Bolton Steam Museum. It is entirely run by enthusiastic volunteers who have restored a huge collection of engines to their former glory. This engine is running on electricity but there a few days throughout the year when you can see the machines run on steam.

A different kind of engine running...
We're hoping to introduce a lot more interactive elements to our displays. Volunteers have done great work making this large vehicle engine run at the touch of button - it proved very popular with our young visitors last Sunday!
