THE Steam Museum will be closed to visitors tomorrow, Thursday and Friday this week.

Swindon Council has taken the decision to shut the Kemble Drive tourist attraction during the daytime due to heating problems.

The situation has been blamed on the particularly cold snap currently being experienced.

It is hoped that the museum will be open as usual at the weekend. However people are being advised to call the museum first to check it is before setting off.

The council has apologised for any inconvenience caused by the three-day closure.

The museum can be contacted on 01793 466646.
