Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet Steam Preview

Families can enjoy FREE admission to Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet this Spring Bank Holiday!

Join us for a preview of our annual October Steam event on Sunday 30 and Monday 31 May when Steam Rollers, Road Locomotives and Engines will be on display*.

Free family activities will also take place on Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd June when we'll be ‘Down on the Farm' in conjunction with the Hawley Gallery. Kids can step back in time to when Abbeydale Works made scythes and other farming implements and learn how the tools were made and used over hundreds of years. You'll learn to spin and card sheep's wool and have fun dressing up with our role playing Living History characters.

Opening times: Monday - Thursday 10am - 4pm and Sunday 11am - 4.45pm. Closed Fridays and Saturdays. The Hawley Gallery is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

*Please note: Living History activities will not be available at the Steam Preview
