We had such an exciting weekend that it's taken us this long to recover and sit down long enough to write about how much fun we had! Our Steam and Crafts never fails to interest our visitors and we see people coming back year after year to watch craft demonstrations and view a selection of commercial vehicles and vintage tractors in steam on our site.

This year saw a record number of craftspeople demonstrating and selling at the weekend with over 20 stalls set our offering a range of crafts with jewellery, lace-making, rag-rug making, spinning, weaving and natural dyeing just a few examples of what was on offer.

We also ran our Steam driver training scheme, which saw the trainees given the opportunity to learn how to operate an engine, our popular scheme gives many the chance to live out childhood dreams, and we saw many happy smiling faces driving round our site.

Visitors had an opportunity to experience everything the Museum has on offer, as well as try out some of the crafts themselves with a helping hand from our demonstrators. We have a fantastic relationship with Suffolk mental health partnership who had a stall at the weekend, and we got to see a real insight into how art can be used to express peoples feelings and opinions on the subject.
We had lots of visitors through the door, and spent the weekend asking about our leisure courses and what we could offer to you. If you missed out, but would be interested in giving us your opinion, we have an online survey Click here to take survey
