Henley Herald: Fitting Farewell Finale for Fawley Hill Vintage Steam Festival

May 21, 2024

The wonderful era of steam powered vehicles and British engineering was showcased at the last ever Fawley Hill Vintage Steam Festival at the weekend.

In the sunshine, visitors enjoyed watching the sights and sounds of these beautifully crafted machines that have been continued to be wonderfully maintained by experts in the field, along with vintage aerial displays, farm, military, buses, motorcycles, cars, pedal-powered and horse-drawn vehicles.  There was also the bonkers modern day machines from Edd China and Lyndon York including a moving bed and mad Outspan oranges plus camels dressed-up in all their finery!
