With over 80 stalls, mouth-watering seafood menus, celebrity chefs, Pommery champagne, local ales and a fabulous atmosphere, this is a must for fish folk.

The Great Dorset Steam Fair - 28th August to 1st September 2013

The biggest event of its kind in the world, you have to experience this at least once in your life time. A line up of 220 full-size steam engines powering a giant fun fair to oggle and that is only the beginning. Part of the festival is held on the farm so if you can suck up five days of steam filled fun, there is no better place to be than with us.
