• The shop will be open for those pocket money purchases
• The Firebox Cafe will be open serving a reduced menu, drinks & snacks (limited hot food items only)
• Treat yourself to a Hungry Engineers' Afternoon Tea, available to pre-order only for collection & enjoyment on the day. If you wish to book, please add Young Engineers tickets to your cart and then click on the Hungry Engineers link beneath the 'checkout' button
• Access to our outdoor picnic areas (please note your own food cannot be consumed inside the cafe)
