Interior and Spaces for Hire

Your event can start with the reception in the 90” engine house, a cathedral of steam with Grand Junction engine, the world’s largest cornish beam engine, working quietly in the background. The Steam Hall is a flexible space that can be for presentations, dining and dancing whilst the majestic steam engines work noiselessly around you. The Babcock Room offers a quiet setting for meetings.
