Steam Fairs

Using steam as a source of power started thousands of years ago but in the UK the industrial revolution saw many new applications for steam. The steam fair celebrates the ingenuity of our 18th and 19th century ancestors.

Things to see at a steam fair

They were also known as road locomotives which distinguished them from railway steam locomotives (visit the Bluebell Railway). The main uses for a steam engine is to pull a heavy load or as a portable power source.
