All the best, team Tees Cottage ❤️

We have some very sad news.

We have been forced to close the Pumping Station until further notice. This is beyond our control but necessary for what we hope is the short term.

As soon as we have any updates we will let you know.

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, and hope to be open as soon as possible.

🎩⚙️ What a marvellous weekend at our annual Steampunk Event! ⚙️🎩

It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and regular steampunk supporters joining us once again.

A huge thank you goes to our splendid Tearoom team ☕🥪 for keeping everyone well fed throughout the weekend, and to the Miniature Trains 🚂 for ferrying visitors around the site in style.

We’re also incredibly grateful to Steven Screen 🎯 for the entertainment, the Auckland Shanty Singers 🎶 for their rousing performances, and the wonderfully toe-tapping Locos’ in Motion Morris dancers 👯.

A special thank you as well to all of the Traders 🎪 who travelled from far and wide to support the event, and finally to our dedicated Volunteers 👷‍♀️👨‍🏭 who work tirelessly behind the scenes to help keep Tees Cottage Pumping Station running so smoothly.

A further thank you to all the photographers 📸who supplied images from across the weekend, and especially to Alistair How for the following photographs.

✨Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the weekend such a success — we hope to see you all again next year✨

So one of our volunteers was exploring the new Darlington station before going to York and spotted this!! Wow!!! 🤩
