İçeriden ipuçları
- Stand near the front during the River Don Engine demo to feel the heat and vibration, but cover your ears, it's genuinely loud.
- The Little Mesters workshop area upstairs shows actual craftspeople at work, check the board for live demo times.
- Combine your visit with the nearby Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet for a full day of Sheffield's industrial history.
- The cafe does a decent sandwich, but the Kelham Island neighborhood has several excellent craft breweries for post-visit pints.
