Giants of Steam running schedule
One weekend a month we run our magnificent Cornish pumping engines, during our Giants of Steam Weekends. The weekend has been designed to celebrate the life of the Victorian pumping station, and show you the true majesty of some of the largest working steam engines in the world.
