save the date in your diary – we are anticipating an fun filled action-packed day

Historic Steam Engines, Agricultural, Classic Cars, Bikes & Trucks

Over 20 full sized steam engines! Steam fans will be thrilled with the authentic results and attention to detail our full-size and miniature engine owners uphold.

Hundreds of vintage and classic vehicles will be gleaming at Marsworth too, including some very impressive cars, tractors, commercials and military vehicles. Stunning exhibits aside, there will also be an abundance of activities to keep all entertained and we’ve got more than enough to keep the young and not-so-young happy! – For the little ones and the young at heart the children’s vintage fairground is always a success, steam engine rides will be running throughout the day too and as well as the side shows there will be various events in the arena throughout the day, some enabling audience participation . Our live band, Pickled Tink, are back by popular request.

No belly should go unfed with a range of gourmet treats to suit snackers and larger appetites alike. The Beer and Tea tents will be on hand with a selection of Local Real Ales and hefty slabs of cake, all accompanied by live music. Stalls will be here, there and everywhere too!

While we know you’ll be having a blast, proceeds from the day help very worthy causes and go towards supporting local charities and community projects in need of a helping hand. In the twenty four years our Steam and Classic Vehicle Rally has been running an impressive amount of money has been raised and it would make our day if this year the total exceeded last year’s charity bounty of £14,000 Can we beat it? With your help we can!

This years Rally promises to be the biggest to date, along with our regulars we have many new trade stalls, new rides, attractions, as well as additional arena and sideshow entertainment. Don’t miss this great family day out, put the date in your diary, tell all your friends and treat Dad to a fun day out this Fathers Day!

All proceeds go to local fundraising and charities

Last year we raised a fantastic £14,000 for local fundraising and charities. In the twenty years we’ve been doing the event we have raised an impressive amount of money for local charities and worthy causes. The success of our fund raising is a joint effort of all those concerned, including exhibitors, sponsors, helpers and the paying public – on behalf of all those that have benefited from these donations we thank you most sincerely.
