The Steam Fair is an annual event, and since 2004 our fair site has been at Castle Fraser. Since relocating the event has grown in size over the years and in 2010 the club celebrated their 40th Anniversary, with 40 full-size engines present and many more attractions on site.

Our 45th anniversary year was celebrated in 2015, with an impressive line up of over 45 full-size engines, along with many other classic and vintage vehicles.

The poor weather in June 2016 saw us have to take the sad step of cancelling our annual Steam Fair, this was not a decision that was taken lightly, the committee and supporters of the club all worked hard to deliver what was an excellent weekend in 2017.

This year is our Golden Jubilee and we have a treat in store for our visitors with 50 full size engines and many more attractions.

Golden Jubilee Steam and Vintage Fair has been postponed due to covid-19.

Camping Registration will be available in 2021.
