Due to the late May Spring Bank holiday moving into June for 2012 and a number of events effectively moving from their regular weekend, the organisers of the Belvoir Castle Steam festival would like to advise all traders, exhibitors and potential visitors that we will be running on what is effectively the same weekend that we usually do, two weekends after the May Day Bank Holiday, which for 2012 will be 19th & 20th May.

2011 news: Exciting show plans for 21/22 May 2011
Plans are now at an advanced stage for the 2011 show, the 9th to be held at the Belvoir Castle Estate.
The tractor theme for the show this time will be Ferguson, Massey Ferguson and Massey Harris. Given that there is a huge following for 'Fergie' product, this will be a popular theme with exhibitors and visiting enthusiasts. The Ferguson Club have agreed to help with this and will have a stand at the show. We are actively looking for rare and unusual examples, including other agricultural equipment as well as tractors. Any one interested should contact section steward Andy Watson watson.andrew@virgin.net, Tel: 01400 250840/07947 040523
It is also planned to have some unusual examples of steam rollers for the Road Roller Association display, including tandem examples and also diesel rollers. The RRA scooped the Michael Gates Memorial Shield for 'outstanding contribution to show' for 2010 with their recreation of a period Aveling Barford promotions stand and are sure to put on a special display for 2011.
We cannot guarantee the same hot weather as 2010, but there will be an additional place to slake the thirst of visitors with a second beer tent and a newly created 'village' with the model tent, motor cycle tent and the dog agility arena.
Further special displays and innovations are being planned and will be posted on this site once arrangements have been confirmed.
