A tourist attraction in Herefordshire is preparing to re-open after being closed for over twelve months.

The Waterworks Museum in Hereford will re-open this Sunday.

It will be the first family open day since the museum closed its doors in March last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

All available engines and pumps will be running, with volunteer engineers on hand to give more about the history of the engines.

Museum Chairman, Richard Curtis, said: ‘We have waited a long time to welcome visitors back to the Waterworks Museum and I’m delighted that we will have craftsmen from The Cart Shed along to demonstrate country skills such as wood carving, whittling and basket weaving and wood turning by use of a shaving horse and a pole lathe.

The Museum will be open between 11am and 4pm. Entrance tickets can be purchased at the reception desk in the usual way – no need to book in advance.
