We will be planning our opening for 2019 during January and as soon as the dates are agreed they will be announced both on here and on our website (www.claverton.org). We are aware that there may have been some leaflets produced with dates on, these dates are incorrect and should be disregarded.

Unfortunately, due to a shortage of volunteers our planned static open day this Saturday 15th September has been cancelled.

For many years all our publicity has included a warning that we are approached via an uncontrolled level crossing. Well, the bad news is that we will need to change all our publicity materials but we are happy about that as the fantastic news is that the crossing now has lights showing when it is safe to cross and the car park fence has been tweaked allowing more room for cars to turn :-)

This Saturday the pumping station will be open to visitors (though static, not running). Adult entry on non running days is £4, accompanied children are free. Last entry 4.30pm

The most mesmerising room I know: the mezzanine floor with two Watt's parallel motions just above your head.
