Rona Steam & Vintage Rally
2025 Dates: From 5pm 11th July - 5pm 13th July
About Us
At the height of the coronavirus pandemic, when the world was forced indoors and all our beloved shows were cancelled, we decided it was time for a change. As a group of passionate individuals, we were tired of being stuck at home and missing out on the experiences that brought us together. So, we decided to take matters into our own hands.
In 2020, we created our very own Steam Rally. What started as a way to lift our spirits and share our love for steam engines and classic vehicles has now grown into a cherished event that brings people together every year. Our rally is built on the spirit of community, resilience, and a shared love for history and heritage.
We’re proud to offer a platform for enthusiasts, traders, and families to come together and celebrate the past while looking forward to the future. Our event is a testament to how, even in the toughest times, passion and determination can spark something truly special.
All profits from our rally go to Wiltshire & Bath Air Ambulance, Macmillan Cancer Support along with other local charities
Steam

With full size engines dating from the 1800s to modern day these magnificent machines can be seen doing what they would have done in their heyday in our new play pen.
It’s not just full-size engines. The Rona Steam & Vintage Rally is now the unofficial home to one of the largest gatherings of miniature steam traction engines in Wiltshire and probably the country.
