What to see, do and explore when you visit the museum

The museum is a great place for everyone and with 150 years of engineering history and pumps operating on our working and steam days, there's so much to see and do.

. . . and our Water Park is not just for the kids . . .

If you are curious about how things work, then spend some time in our Water Park.  The Noel Meeke Heritage Water Park is unique in the UK and is aimed primarily at young people but everyone is encouraged to have a go with the historic water devices. 

Your can interact with full-size devices for lifting, pumping, moving and filtering water which have been used down the generations. In a totally safe environment children can have immense fun and learn at the same time the difficulties of obtaining water in days gone by.

Great things to see and do
at the Waterworks Museum

An excellent museum, with a large number of water pumps and other equipment to provide our clean water. I particularly enjoyed the working machinery and the exhibition about water treatment, which must be the most important public health measure of all time!
