Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 13:02 · Archive

The Stoke Row Steam Rally will return on June 12 and 13, 2027.

The Stoke Row Steam Rally 2027 will take place on June 12 and 13 near Whitchurch Hill. The event celebrates Britain's industrial and agricultural heritage and showcases steam engines, vintage tractors, classic vehicles, fairground attractions and working displays.

The rally dates back to 1980 and celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2023. It has grown from a small village gathering held in Stoke Row orchard to one of the larger steam rallies in southern England, eventually moving to a larger showground due to its increasing popularity.

The event typically attracts dozens of full-size steam engines, miniature steam engines, vintage tractors, commercial vehicles and stationary engines. Organisers anticipated about 40 full-size engines and 55 miniature engines for the 2023 rally. Demonstrations illustrate the historical use of steam-powered machinery in farming, threshing and powering equipment before modern mechanisation. The rally is a significant event in South Oxfordshire's calendar.
