Outreach

Crofton Beam Engines is such an important place with so much history to share.

We love bringing our knowledge and passion out into the local community to tell its fascinating story.

We have already visited a number of community organisations and groups with a small PowerPoint presentation and working model to explain what Crofton is all about, followed with an engaging collage activity to spark conversation.

If you’re interested in a Crofton visiting your community group or would like more information about a potential visit, please get in touch using our Enquiry Form here.
