Santa himself will be visiting the mill

On Saturday 3 & Sunday 4 December Etruria Industrial Museum will hold its last steaming weekend until spring 2012.

Experience a fabulous, festive weekend at Jesse Shirley’s Etruscan Bone & Flint Mill will be ‘grinding’ into life with a whole host of additional seasonal treats.

See the mill in steam and operating as it would have done in 1857! Take part in Christmas craft activities and try some festive treats including mince pies and winter punch from our Tea Room. Browse the shop for great gift ideas, stocking fillers or simply a souvenir to remember your visit. Live music will also be performed throughout the weekend.

But the most exciting news of the weekend comes fresh from the North Pole! Father Christmas himself will be arriving at the museum by narrow boat on his annual visit to the site. Have you been naughty or nice?

The museum will be open Saturday & Sunday from noon until 4.30pm. Steamings last for around 30 minutes on each hour starting at 1pm. Santa will be arriving at 1.30pm and will be at his Grotto until 3.30pm  Don’t forget to arrive early and welcome him to the museum!
