What to See & Do
Each year it attracts thousands of people to marvel at the site of steam-powered vehicles of all kinds in action and on static display.
If you’ve never experienced the sights, sounds and smells of steam engines in action then this is the place to be.
Over 1,000 exhibits
- Steam-powered tractors, cars and other vehicles of all shapes and sizes
- Historic military vehicles
- Veteran and classic cars and commercial vehicles
- Classic motorbikes
- Vintage tractors
- Vintage fairground organs and other machinery
The Main Arena
Outside the arena the exhibits will be on display if you want a closer look, as well as a range of oil and steam-powered static engines and military vehicles.
Working Field
Our working field brings the past back to life with a range of demonstrations showing the history of farming as it has changed through the last century.
A top attraction here is always the teams of shire horses which will plough part of the site, as well as steam-powered cultivation.
Other attractions
There’s plenty of food and drink on offer at stalls around the ground, as well as a licensed bar, and everywhere you look there’s vintage machinery on display and in pristine condition – from an Olde Time Fairground and organs, a craft and hobbies marquee and 6 acres of trade stands to go bargain hunting.
Come along in your vintage costume!
Camping and caravanning
There’s so much to see over the two days of the Rally, why not join us for the whole weekend! You’ll have two full show days, plus the evening fairground and entertainment in the bar marquee on the Saturday and Sunday evenings. More info here – Caravan & Camping Info.
