Bit off topic for bushcraft, maybe, but I know you folk have wide ranging interests and this is a blast from Britains industrial past that isn't to be missed if you've got the wanderlust on you this weekend!
Here's the events and prices page- its part of the Leicester Vintage Festival. The Abbey Pumping Station is a beautiful sewerage pumping works with 4 beautifully restored, 3 story high beam engines which will be steaming in rotation all through both days, with 3 going at the same time at 3.30 both days- it's a sight and sound to behold! They have a nice collection of motor transport in their museum too and its right next door to the National Space Centre too (you prob need a whole day just for that, tbh!)
There's more details of the engines here and some pics of what you can expect to see here too (not too many pics of the motors, I think these folk are steam engine buffs )
