Visit the Depot

A visit to the depot really brings the Aquabox operation to life. Here you can watch the assembly teams assembling the water filters, before testing to ensure that they are fit for purpose. You can also marvel at the skills of the packing teams as they use their ingenuity to squeeze all the items of humanitarian aid and water filtration units into the Aqua-aid boxes and still manage to close the lid! If you fancy yourself as a good holiday packer, we’ll give you a chance to pack your own Aquabox!

Why not come to visit the Peak District for a day, and after spending an hour or so at the depot learning about Aquabox, you can retire to one of our excellent local hostelries or cafes before visiting one of the great attractions of the area, such as Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Wirksworth Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, Crich Tramway Village or Arkwright’s Mill at Cromford – the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. It’s a great day out.

We are also able to arrange special visit for schools, scouts, guides and other young people’s groups. These events can be tailored to the group and provide some real educational messages around the life-giving value of water, and the challenges many communities face every day providing families and children with safe drinking water, particularly in the aftermath of a disaster. These events have proved to be very popular with young people, who can get involved by tackling a number of packing and water challenges in and around the depot.
