Summer Family Fun Day

Visit Abbey Pumping Station Museum with the entire family and enjoy the Summer Family Fun Day.

We will be recreating the atmosphere of a village Gala Day with a wide range of stalls. Many vintage vehicles like the Fire Engines, Leicester Corporation busses and Tower Wagon, Electric Milk Float, Electric Bread van etc will be on display and one of the majestic beam engines will be in steam.

A fun family event with games to play, plenty to see, and even coal fired chips freshly made from our very own vintage chip van.

The café will also be serving light refreshments on the day (cash only).

Ride on our narrow gauge railway, just 50p (cash) per ride on the day.
