This is a Unique Event in the Steam Rally Calendar in the UK because it takes place in a Park in the middle of a Market Town.
Come to Abergavenny for a marvellous day out for the whole family.

The Abergavenny Steam Rally Company Ltd has run this amazing event since 2010. The Company is wholly owned by the Rotary Club of Abergavenny which took over the event in 2000 to run it for the enjoyment of the Town and to generate funds for charitable and community causes. The two day event now offers something for everyone. As well as the mighty giants of steam and vintage vehicles, the show boasts a children`s playground with old fashioned rides, a food village, rural crafts and handicrafts, a wealth of stands selling everything from autojumble to garden plants and the latest household `must have`.

Steam Traction Engines

For the two days of the year Abergavenny is redolent with the sounds, smells and sights of a bygone era. Mighty steam traction engines, respendent in their colourful liveries, with smoke belching from their chimneys, pistons clanking and hissing steam, are still the flagships of a fantastic day out within the Seven Hills of Abergavenny.

Vintage, Military & Civilian Vehicles

Look back with nostalgia at the vintage cars, lorries and motorcycles, to the days when Britain led the world in building vehicles. An extensive array of stationary engines continues the theme. The low throb of a single cylinder engine is a world away from the high-pitched whine of their cousins of today.

Models, Handicraft, Farming & Displays

The model tent displays superb examples of the model-maker's skill while the handicraft displays give the opportunity to see craftsmen & women at work. An array of early tractors, and farming machinery join country pursuits, such as a working sawmill and threshing machine, a display of birds of prey & other interesting exhibits. Each day there is a full programme of arena events including parades of all the vehicles.
