Countdown to Steam & Vintage Fair at Cheltenham Racecourse

Bright yellow AA signs will soon be sprouting on posts around Cheltenham and Toddington as the 24th Steam & Vintage Fair comes together at its new home, Cheltenham Racecourse.  The venue is on the field on the north-west side of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, which is running a full steam-hauled Red timetable between Toddington and Cheltenham Racecourse.  Late exhibitor entries are still coming in and there'll be so much going on, you will need both days to take it all in! It includes the fascinating and ever-popular steam ploughing in an adjoining field, and other demonstrations give an idea of how the land was managed in a bygone age.

If you're coming by car, please follow the AA signs to the public car parking: entry is via Southam Lane, not through the main racecourse entrance.

Local Rotary members will be helping with car parking and will politely ask for a voluntary donation to local charities, and we're grateful for their help. Or you can park at Toddington and let the train take the strain!
