A great family fun day out
Situated on the Hampshire and Sussex border, Hollycombe is far more than just a working steam museum, it's a place where the past comes to life.
From the atmosphere of our traditional fairground, to riding on our steam railways, or wandering through the woodland gardens, there's something for all ages.
Steam At The Fair
Relive the excitement of the original white knuckle rides in our traditional steam-driven fairground
Steam On The Rails
Feel the power of our steam locos as you travel through woodland on our steam railways
Steam On The Water
Many of the world's greatest ships were powered by massive but quiet steam engines.
Steam On The Estate
Running large estates required varied machinery including waterwheels and steam sawmills.
Steam On The Farm
Steam was a major part of farming from running barn machinery to steam ploughing and threshing.
Steam On The Road
Ride behind a traction engine and see our collection of road engines and steam rollers.
