The August Bank Holiday weekend marks the return of a true crown jewel in the heritage calendar - the 51st Island Steam Fair at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway!

Horton’s Steam Fair is proud to ferry our historic fleet across the water to set up on the showgrounds at Havenstreet, transforming the station into a massive, living time capsule.

Please note: Admission to the fairground attractions at this site is strictly via official Isle of Wight Steam Railway entry tickets.

For families seeking the ultimate, authentic Isle of Wight family events this weekend, Havenstreet offers a marvellous sensory spectacle. Alongside majestic moving steam locomotives and commercial vintage vehicles, our traditional fairground rides provide the perfect interactive experience. Listen to the mechanical organs whistle, smell the coal smoke, and enjoy a gentle, historic ride experience that has put smiles on children's faces for over a century.
