Special Event

Crofton By Night

27 September 2025
18:30
£10

We will be holding a special "Watch The Stars" evening event in addition to our normal daytime steaming day.

We will be holding a special evening event in addition to our normal daytime steaming day. We’ll be running our two beam engines into the twilight with lower than normal lighting in our engine house. This will give an impression of Crofton in the Georgian era when it first operated.

Crofton is located in a ‘dark skies’ area so to help us celebrate our evening steaming when it is fully dark, local astronomers from the Newbury Astronomy Society will have their telescopes set up for visitors to marvel at the heavens (weather permitting!).

This listing is supplied by one of our museum partners and is not moderated by Art Fund.
