Island Steam Show
Now in its 46th year, the Island Steam Show is back for another action-packed year. It’s the bank holiday event on the Island with bundles of fun and explosive acts in the main arena. Enjoy a fabulous collection of vintage transport, traditional fairground, live entertainment, plus steam trains running on the line
Get set to cheer and be amazed by amazing entertainment, head to the comedy and entertainment stage for amusing and interesting acts before wandering down to the woodland for live music in the woods.
Be amazed by working traction engines, farm vehicles, military vehicles and more as you take in the site all before taking a ride aboard one of our vintage steam trains.
Little ones will be kept busy with traditional games such as coconut shys and hook the duck and a ride on the steam powered gallopers will be a treat for big and little kids.
Refuel at one of the onsite refreshments kiosks or cool down with an ice cream, there’s even a real ale bar to keep dad happy.
Whatever you do during the August bank holiday weekend, make sure you pay a visit to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
