expeatfarmer 591 #1 Posted September 12, 2023 Spent a very enjoyable four days at the Shrewsbury Steam Fair recently, camped on site with excellent facilities and good site only spoiled by a knob with an industrial generator who parked next to us, I queried the need and he said it was to run the fridge and not to worry he would turn it off at 10 pm WE MOVED. Amazing spectacle with 94 large steam traction engines numerous statics and 25 scale steamers as well as cars, bikes, militaria, tractors ,horses and stationary engines. Live displays of sawmills, see saw ploughing with twin engines, a cider mill ( selling disgusting cider ). The weather was good , multiple food outlets from all over the world and a very good bar and entertainment tent with various tribute bands at night. The steam powered funfair was amazing especially when lit up at night. I would recommend anyone to go next year if you have the chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expeatfarmer 591 #4 Posted September 13, 2023 Sorry I missed you Norman, it was a very good show loads of bric a brac and parts dealers as well as exhibitors. Apparently visitor traffic was chaotic but camping on site saved all of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S1g 579 #5 Posted October 27, 2023 To be honest the traffic to get in is what stopped me going to this show. Even at 8am the bypass gets gridlocked solid. Once in i agree with you,its an amazing show, takes hours just to see it all, but I can't stand the que to enter the site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
