The Great Dorset Steam Fair 25-29 August 2022

If you are looking for an excellent educational, action packed day out for all the family, you’ll love the Great Dorset Steam Fair.

And the good news is that the Fair returns in 2022 across the August Bank Holiday weekend from 25-29 August.

Traditionally this English fair is held at the village of Tarrant Hinton, near Blandford Forum in the heart of the beautiful Dorset countryside. Further directions are superfluous. Just find the village on the map, head in that direction and follow everyone else!

From small beginnings this annual event has become one of the favored places for those interested in how people lived, worked and played in bygone years and it is now justifiably recognised as “The National Heritage Show” as well as being regarded as the leading show of its type in the world. The spectacle covers an enormous showground, at over 600 acres being one of Europe’s largest outdoor event locations. 2022 will see the show celebrate its 52nd year.

If its heritage related, you’ll find it at the Great Dorset Steam Fair. Each year we assemble the largest collection of steam & vintage equipment and rural displays to be seen anywhere in the world and take visitors on a giant trip of nostalgia into the days of yesteryear. Everything that was great in British engineering and craftsmanship can be seen, it really is a look back at our wonderful heritage when Great Britain was workshop to the world. Overall there are over 2000 exhibits at the show including an incredible gathering of over 250 full steam engines.
