Description:

A new event for 2010 sees a reprise of the steam events that were so popular during the early years of the Beaulieu attraction.

Among the major attractions on display at the Steam Revival will be the magnificent Showman’s Engines that could be widely seen at the Fairgrounds of the Victorian era. The show will have its own Victorian Fairground with traditional steam driven rides including Gallopers and Speedway, as well as strolling players and side shows, creating the atmosphere of a Victorian travelling fair.

During the Victorian age, steam was not used just for transportation and pleasure; it had a role to play in the working lives of the population. Show visitors will see a wide variety of live demonstrations, boiler making and engine restoration in the Foundry and Blacksmith Shop, and in the Saw Mill there will be thatching and timber working, using wood from the Beaulieu Estate. There will also be trailer and steam engine rides for everyone to enjoy.





We suggest that you verify dates and times of events before attending.
