Halloween and Autumn Steam Up
2025-10-26 11:00 - 16:00 (Europe/London) | The Brickworks, Swanwick Lane, Lower Swanwick, SO31 7HB, United Kingdom
Our Autumn steam up welcomes the Traction engines back from their summer show season to join us in one last celebration of brickmaking before the Museum closes for our winter months. As the nights darken and the season draws in, don’t miss the chance to explore our genuinely haunted museum at Halloween.
Featuring: Traction Engines, Train Rides (small extra charge), Halloween Decorations, Miniature Railway Layouts, Craft & Gift Stalls and much more to be announced at a later date.
Parking: We have parking on site but our steam events can be very busy. For the Halloween Steam Up our resident bus group are going to be running a bus service from the museum to Swanwick Railway Station and back to the museum via Sarisbury Green. You can ride for free!

Our dog and child friendly museum also features two children’s’ play areas, on-site café and a working vintage arcade.
You will also get 125 years of brick history, and the chance to wander around our museum and this is ALL included in your Event admission fee.

Children's Christmas Special
2025-11-30
Our smallest but sweetest event of the year is dedicated to everyone who truly believes in magic.
Father Christmas will be at the Brickworks on Sunday 30th November and Sunday 7th December, along with our decorated museum. Book your spot to meet Santa in his grotto, guided by his very excited elves and receive your special Christmas gift to tell him what you’d like under your tree this year. Make sure to leave plenty of time to visit the elves’ packing room and see where they wrap up gifts of all shapes and sizes. On the day you can join in with a range of Christmas crafts available such as decorations, Christmas origami and hanging your wishes big and small on our magical wishing tree.
The trains will be running at an additional charge and depending on the weather.
