Built in 1894, this is a rare venue with heritage that has been lovingly restored. Preserved is its original machinery showcasing 19th-century engineering and technology.

The Pumping Station which is a scheduled Ancient Monument is situated beside the River Cam. A stunning backdrop to your event with the iconic chimney which can be lit up. The site also has green spaces for picnics and a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

Our buildings are licensed until 11pm and we have three excellent local suppliers on site Kerb Kollective, Calverley Brewery and Scotts.
