Welcome to Rona Steam and Vintage Rally, where passion for steam engines, vintage vehicles, and history come to life! Our story began during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, when the world came to a standstill, and many of the events we cherished were cancelled. Tired of being stuck indoors and longing for the thrill of gathering together, a group of like-minded individuals came together with a simple yet ambitious idea: to create an event of our own.

In 2020, with the world facing uncertainty, we decided to take matters into our own hands and started planning our very own steam rally. What began as a way to lift our spirits and reconnect with our community quickly grew into something far more special than we had ever imagined. We knew we weren’t alone in missing the excitement and camaraderie of the events we loved, so we set out to build an inclusive space where enthusiasts of all ages could celebrate steam engines, vintage vehicles, and a shared love for craftsmanship and history.

Our event started small but has grown year by year, with a passion for preserving and showcasing the incredible heritage of steam engines, classic vehicles, and much more. Each year, we welcome an increasing number of visitors, exhibitors, traders, and families who join us to experience the past in the present day. Whether it’s the rumble of a steam engine in action, the gleam of a vintage vehicle, or the aroma of freshly cooked food wafting through the air, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

What sets us apart isn’t just the amazing machines and exhibits—it’s the sense of community. At Rona Rally, we believe that people are at the heart of everything we do. Our event is not only a celebration of history but also a celebration of the friendships and connections that make these events so special. We are proud to bring together families, friends, enthusiasts, and local businesses to create an environment where memories are made, stories are shared, and passion is ignited.

Beyond the engines and vehicles, our rally includes a vibrant trade section filled with unique products, services, and crafts from local businesses. Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind item, a new tool, or simply want to explore, our trade section offers something for everyone.

As we continue to grow and evolve, our core mission remains the same: to provide an event that honours the past, celebrates craftsmanship, and fosters a strong sense of community. We’re excited to share our passion with you, and we can’t wait to see you at the next rally. Join us as we continue to build this tradition and keep the spirit of steam and vintage vehicles alive for generations to come.

Thank you for being a part of our story. We hope you’ll enjoy the magic of our event as much as we do!

All profits from our rally go to Wiltshire & Bath Air Ambulance, Macmillan Cancer Support along with other local charities.
