OPEN DAYS FOR 2010

This year’s open day season will run from Sunday, April 4th and continue every Sunday afternoon, 2-5 pm, until Sunday, August 8th.

The open day experience
A visit to the Blagdon Visitor Centre is a great way to find out just how much work goes into supplying water to our customers. But it’s far from being dry as dust stuff - visitors enjoy the experience and the surroundings and come back again time after time. Since we began these free events 14 years ago, well over 365,000 people have visited them.

The Centre not only houses historic beam pumping engines - one of which works almost as it would have done under steam a century ago -- but also a series of exhibition rooms featuring interactive displays, videos and historic items. Audio guides help visitors understand what they are seeing.

Outside, in the beautiful grounds, there are nature trails and also the chance to feed thousands of trout.
