The Waterworks Museum is a thrivi
ng industrial heritage museum and one of Hereford's leading attractions, with something for visitors of all ages. This includes an award winning children’s Heritage Water Park and Herefordshire’s only permanent exhibition to life in WW2. It appeals to engineering enthusiasts and families alike. The Museum:
* has operated for the last 45 years in the Victorian water pumping station that served Hereford for 120 years.
* is Independently funded and staffed, managed and run solely by volunteers.
* is home to the UK's oldest working triple-expansion steam engine, and historic beam, gas and diesel engines spanning from the industrial revolution to the present day.
* holds over a thousand archived documents (contracts, catalogues, handbooks, journals, plans and photographs), which our activists are preparing to make available online. Pre-arranged visits to see our archive and public enquiries are welcome by email.
* stocks a select range of souvenirs and gifts in the Museum shop, along with a range of books and educational and other items. More information is available on our website.
* welcomes enquiries for private, family or group visits and can host meetings, conferences, rallies, exhibitions, parties and receptions (great facilities and reasonable rates) in an exclusive venue.
* offers a unique volunteering opportunity for individuals to become involved in a thriving museum - a great way to make new friends and contribute to the maintenance, presentation and promotions of a Museum of national importance.
