Roads to Rail Steam Rally

Step back in time with Swanage Railway for a weekend of steam-powered demonstrations and vintage fairground fun.

Working traction engines, road rollers, showman’s engines, Land Rovers, lorries, classic cars, stationary engines and much more – bringing the Isle of Purbeck to life with recreations of a bygone age.

Located near Corfe Castle, next to Norden train station, you can experience road steam and rail steam together for our popular annual event in the Isle of Purbeck with rides and stalls suitable for all ages.

Enjoy delicious local food in the showground before visiting the beer tent to sample some popular ales and ciders.

We are thrilled to accounce that 'The Dorset Axemen' will be appearing at this years rally!

The Dorset Axemen formed in 2014 with the aim of perpetuating the skills of the forester, woodman, timber cutter, before modern-day machinery.

The display contains all aspects of speed and accuracy chopping and crosscut sawing with razor sharp axes and saws.

We are also delighted to announce that 'Liberty's Owl, Raptor and Reptile Centre' will be appearing at this year's rally!

Displays are informative, educational, entertaining and enjoyable to the public.
