Show admission tickets for the public are available either on an advance basis (pre-paid) or by paying “on the day” at the Pay Gates. We encourage visitors to take advantage of our pre-paid booking scheme as this gives discounts on all prices on bookings made before 12th August 2019.  Why not take advantage of the great savings with our 5 day, 4 day and 3 day pre-paid tickets.

Changes have been made to simplify the pass system for the 2019 Event, from this year ALL Pre-Paid Tickets will be sent out electronically for you to print out at home, as E-Tickets. 5 Day, 4 Day and 3 Day Ticket orders will exchange their E-Vouchers for an equivalent 5 day, 4 day and 3 day Ticket onsite. Customers will receive a confirmation email containing their E-Tickets, E-Passes and/or E-Vouchers electronically, along with relevant instructions.

Pre-paid bookings can be made by ordering on-line through this website, by debit card/credit card from our telephone hotline (01258 860361) or by post (by cheque) to Great Dorset Steam Fair, Dairy House Farm, Child Okeford, Blandford Forum, Dorset, DT11 8HT.

Please note that we do not charge a Booking Fee for Online Orders, however, any Telephone Bookings, Postal Bookings or Amendments will be subject to a £5.00 Administration Fee. This Administration Fee is also applicable to orders that require us to print and post your E-Tickets, E-Passes and/or E-Vouchers.

Pre-paid tickets can also be purchased from over 20 Tourist Information Centers in towns across our region, please see the full list at the bottom of this page.
