If open air rock festivals aren’t quite your “thing”, then here’s an alternative activity for this weekend.
Now in its 38th year, the Cromford Steam Rally takes place on Saturday and Sunday (August 2/3) at High Acres Farm, Dewey Lane, Brackenfield, near Matlock. (On the A615 Matlock to Alfreton road; click here for a map.)
The rally is of interest and amusement for the whole family, whilst at the same time retaining the essence of the bygone spirit of our event.
Our tractor section will give you a unique insight into life on the farms in days gone by.
Look in our rural crafts section and enjoy the demonstrations taking place.
We have traditional steamers, historical motor vehicles, stationary engines, a model marquee and miniature steam.
Amble around the stalls, have a look at our old time fair rides, look through our sections of motorcycles, commercial vehicles, military displays and our wonderful old time organs.
Full admission is £6. OAPs and 14-and-unders pay £3, and under-5s can enter free.
