About Steam Enthusiast's Day

Learn how to fire and operate our 130-year-old steam launch Falcon.

A truly unique experience for steam enthusiasts!  You and your guest will spend the day on board our 130 year old steam launch Falcon as we travel around the beautiful Broads.  Prepare to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty while under full supervision of our experienced boatmen on the operation of the boiler and engine.

Your day will start at 10am at the museum and will include a stop around 1.30pm for a light lunch before we continue until our return to the museum at 4pm upon which you will receive your commemorative certificate of completion and a beautiful engraved Falcon pocket watch.

This exciting experience is only available for two trainees and their guests ensuring they have time for both engine and helming instruction and can comfortably move around the boat.

Cost is £350 for one trainee and one guest, with a maximum of two trainees.  Light lunch, commemorative certificate and engraved pocket watch included for trainee.  Book here
