Welcome to
Papplewick Pumping Station
Britain’s finest Victorian Waterworks

Opening Dates & Times

The Pumping Station is in steam 8 times a year. These are always Bank Holidays (Sunday and Monday) and selected weekends during the year (Saturday & Sunday). The Station is open to the public every Sunday but the engines are not steamed. Please note that the Station is not open during the week except for pre-booked groups visits of 15 or more people. If you would like to enquire about a group booking please contact the Station via the Contact Us tab.

Dear visitors please note that the underground reservoir will not be open this steam weekend due to bad weather and ongoing maintenance work.
