The landscape of the Fens is unique, intriguing and curiously beautiful. And maintained by an incredible network of drainage systems and pumping stations, without which this fascinating landscape would disappear under the waves.
Prickwillow Museum, a registered educational charity, tells the story of the drainage of the Fens, the history of the local area, and those doughty individuals who ran the drainage pumps in remote locations. The museum showcases some of the region's finest examples of restored diesel engines. Within easy reach of Ely, with a spacious café, plus attractive walks nearby, a visit to Prickwillow Museum promises a great day out in rural Cambridgeshire. Whether you are interested in engineering and history, or looking for a family day out with a difference, Prickwillow Museum will not disappoint! |
Opening times
The Museum is open on Saturday, Sunday and Monday from August 7th until the end of September, 12.00 to 16.00. Due to health and safety concerns, the Museum will not be open on Tuesdays, when it is the engineers' work day. Covid-safe measures have been put in place, in line with current guidance. Please wear a face covering (unless medically exempt). We look forward to welcoming you!
