When? 22 Aug 2019 to 26 Aug 2019

If you’re looking for an excellent fun and action-packed day out for all the family, you’ll love the Great Dorset Steam Fair.
This English fair is held at the village of Tarrant Hinton, near Blandford Forum in the heart of the beautiful Dorset countryside. Further directions are superfluous. Just find the village on the map, head in that direction and follow everyone else to the show.
From small beginnings this annual event has become one of the favoured places for those interested in how people lived, worked and played in bygone years and it is now widely recognised as “THE” National Heritage Show as well as being regarded as the leading show of its type in the world.
