THIS YEAR WE STAGED THE EVENT OVER THE WEEKEND OF 9th & 10th AUGUST 2025.

We had in service a good selection of Buses for all to enjoy a ride on, and also the model railway layouts were well received, all housed in our main halls.

There was intensive train action on the Great Bush Railway, plus support from local classic car clubs, as well as a small funfair supplied by the wonderful Harris family from Ashington. All this along with our ever popular traction engine trailer rides around the 25 acre site, and cab rides in our Green Goddess fire engine made for a very enjoyable day out for the family.

This years guest steam locomotive was the Orenstein and Koppel ‘EIGIAU’ from the Bredgar and Wormshill railway! This was the first time our resident ex Penrhyn loco No.24 and EIGIAU had run together since leaving the Welsh slate quarry in the early 1960’s and did sterling work alongside our resident O&K locomotive.
