SATURDAY 6 AND SUNDAY 7 SEPTEMBER In celebration of the completion of its major rail expansion project, Lafarge Cement is inviting local people to come to Hope Works for a fun-filled weekend of family-friendly events on
Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September. The Open Days will run from 10am to 4pm on both days, with entertainment on offer including steam train rides, works tours (via minibus), bouncy castle, locally provided music, face painting, refreshments, and an exhibition. Parking will be available at the Works, but for those who prefer to leave the car at home, a special bus will pick up visitors from three locations, Castleton Bus Station, Hope Station and Hope Church. The bus will leave the Works on the hour and half hour starting from 10.30am, with the last bus leaving at 3pm for the last pick-up of the day. Hope Works manager Ashley Bryan says: "This Open Weekend means a great deal to the whole team at Hope Works and we very much hope that local people arrive in droves to help us celebrate this impressive milestone in the Works history. "The completion of this rail programme will make a huge difference to both us as a cement-manufacturing operation; and to the local community with much of our distribution moved from road to rail. It has been an enormously complex project involving, among other developments: the demolition of our previous office building and construction of a new state-of-the-art administrative hub for the plant; the installation of new track and sidings; and the design and purchase of 48 high-tech bespoke rail wagons for efficient distribution of bulk cement products out from the site. "The last celebration event, held in 2005, was a huge success with over 3,000 people welcomed in to the Works. I very much hope that our Open Weekend in September is as successful, if not moreso. Please come along and bring your families and friends. Remember to wear sensible clothing and flat sturdy shoes, especially if you are interested in taking part in the minibus tours of the quarry and Works, or if a ride on a steam train appeals to you. We look forward to seeing you in September!"
