Re-opening Easter 2025 ** NOT LIVE ** Did you know this time of year is the busiest time for us? We have taken the fairground rides down , the engines are stripped and washed out and now the hard work begins... everything from carpentry, machining, painting, varnishing, and the very important preparation for non-destructive testing. Sounds complicated but we have the skills to support volunteers in learning as they go regardless of their prior knowledge. Hollycombe doesn't have an income at this time of year so we need all the help we can get to survive each winter. We do not receive regular funding and rely on the revenue from the year to see us through to Easter. We always need all the help we can get. You could join us as a volunteer, bake some cakes to feed our hardworking volunteers, visit our online shop, buy tickets to visit us next year or make a donation.~IT ALL HELPS!~If you are interested to help in any capacity you can email us: info@hollycombe.co.uk About Hollycombe...One of Britain's Largest Collection of steam offering visitors a nostalgic look at how the Victorians and Edwardians used steam as an instrument of work and play, and feature a number of popular fairground sideshows of the period.
