WELCOME TO
THE ENGINE SHED
PROGRAMME FOR 2018
We have a huge range of activities and events planned for the year. From family
friendly craft sessions to technical seminars on digital documentation and
seminars on industrial heritage, we hope you will find something of interest.
We are continuing to add to our programme, and as well as the events listed here
there are also:
Weekend and school holiday workshops: We offer different interactive workshops
each Saturday and over the school holidays. Advance booking may be required,
so please check online to make sure you don’t miss out.
Insight Tours: Our behind the scenes guided tours of conservation work on sites
and collections give you access to areas usually not open to the public.
Practical sessions and site visits: Try your hand at craft skills or join us on a site visit
to see building conservation issues and interventions up close.
Lectures and seminars: Where possible we will make single days of CPD modules
available for booking, these will be advertised around a month in advance so please
keep checking the website for details.
Please go to engineshed.scot for the most up-to-date details of events. To help you
