Visitor information

Welcome!

Welcome to the Anson Engine Museum! Here, you can explore the fascinating history of the internal combustion engine.

In this section, you’ll find everything you need to plan your visit.

We have engines running every day the museum is open, and we also run steam engines every month.

We’re also happy to open outside normal dates and times for pre-booked tours and groups. If you're booking on behalf of a group, please head over to our club and group visits page.
