The Brickworks Museum A family-friendly Museum in Hampshire with a thriving programme of events. Open March-October. You can even have a go at making your own brick.

Come and be amazed at the authentic sights, sounds and smells of the last stream-driven Victorian brickworks in the UK. Follow in the footsteps of the brickmakers to see how bricks were once made here by the million and experience what a Victorian factory with its huge machinery was like. There really is something for everyone, lots of hands-on activities for children of all ages. Plenty of space inside if the weather is poor and we welcome well behaved dogs on leads. Once a month all the machinery is steamed up and the place hums with life again. We have four stationary engines, a railway on site, resident traction engines who help us put on a really good day out – no chance of getting bored! An inexpensive family visit, with lots of brick related activities and family trails. Enjoy free parking, snacks, drinks and gift shop.
