The site is closed to the public whilst the conservation works commence on the boats and plans for the redevelopment of the site are progressed. We would now like to offer you the opportunity to visit the site and see the collection in storage and find out more about the boats and their conservation. On the day we will take you on a guided tour of the collection in storage, talking about the project and our plans for the future. Adrian Stone, Conservation Workshop Manager, will also give a short talk in the workshop about his plans for the restoration of the collection.

Guided tours cost £5.00 or £5.50 'Gift Aid' per person.

As we are still closed to the general public our facilities are extremely limited. We recommend you wrap up warm as even on sunny days the buildings remain fairly chilly. There are no catering facilities at the Steamboat Museum but you could always tie in your visit with a trip to Blackwell for tea and a scone!

As we are in the midst of developing the project our resources are very limited and so we are only able to offer a small number of visits at this time. It is therefore advisable that you ring to check the availability for your preferred date. We will then provisionally book that date for you until you send in the booking form (available to download below).

If you are a UK tax payer willing to ‘Gift Aid’ your admission with a 10% voluntary donation, then this will allow us to claim an additional 28p on every pound you pay. The money we raise from Gift Aid makes a valuable difference to our work.
