The evening concert ticket & admission ticket includes entry to the show after 5pm. As part of your visit you will be able to experience all the other attractions and events the Steam Fair has to offer. Those visiting at night are spoilt for choice! There is so much to see and do and some would argue that the show really comes alive as the sunsets and the lights go up, the music plays and the fun really starts. You can enjoy live music, ride on the modern or traditional fun fair rides, and enjoy some traditional fare, beer and cider. You can also take a white knuckle ride on one of the country’s biggest travelling modern funfairs. Rides expected include a Giant Wheel, Log Flume, Spinning Rollercoaster, Drop Tower and the Shock Wave Ejection Seat Reverse Bungee

Experience one of the highlights of the show which is the old time steam Funfair. Annually over 50 Showman’s engines with their gleaming, twisted brass, appear generating the light and power for the old roundabouts and swing boats to operate, and with the merry organs playing, it makes for a fascinating spectacle, especially at night. For many the nightlife of the show is the highlight of their visit. To add to the excitement several of the large fair organs are fronted by stage shows where traditional Can Can dancing girls perform.

Revel in our music festival to the full by visiting our 5 other large marquees and listen to Country and Western, folk bands and a range of other local bands that will be performing in the various marquees.

Enjoy a drink at any of our 6 beer marquees including our Real Ale Festival tent and experience up to 25 traditional ales otherwise; try a refreshing cider from any of our 8 cider outlets, all with their own homemade cider.

Taste some food at any of our 120 Catering units serving dishes from all around the world.
