In previous years I would attend a show / rally and then post a review about the show the following weekend. However this year I have been too busy, so for this year only, I will post reviews of all the shows / rallies I attended over the summer months throughout the winter.
On June 15th 2025 I attended the Marsworth Steam Rally, although it's billed as a steam rally, for steam engines the show included hundreds of classic and vintage cars and bikes, tractors, commercials and military vehicles. The show also had a vintage fairground rides for the children and steam engine rides for everyone. They also had a band playing live music. There was plenty of food vendors serving various cuisines to suit your taste and a beer tent. The organisers had also advertised that around lunchtime there would be a WW2 Spitfire doing a fly past over the show. All proceeds from the show are given to charity and last year the show raised over £14,000 for local charities. As the pretty village of Marsworth, Buckinghamshire is only 8 miles from my home, it would have been rude not to attend and show my support. So on Fathers Day I jumped in my bus with Suzie (my dog) and we headed off for a day out. The blog review continues as I wander around the show looking at all the awesome vehicles and attractions.

That was my review all about the Marsworth Steam Engine Rally for 2025. Overall a great day out with lots to see and do. The event was well organised and the show field was well laid out. A great day out for all the family. Next week my blog review is all about the Halton Combined School Community Day.
