I was at Harewood House today and overheard someone say that the event had been cancelled , I intended going tomorrow but I would like confirmation before making a decision

The rally did run, but only 11 engines (Sunday), 25 at Harewood House, an excellent show, glorious afternoon yesterday

Went to Temple Newsam after ringing their house number for confirmation , pretty disappointing to say this was their 25th show not made better by the fact that the steamers didn't make an arena appearance due to the ground conditions.
I have attended this rally since 2004 and believe this to be the least memorable , maybe two shows so close to each other on the same weekend is taking it's toll

I did notice that Harewood had "The Maori" and "Puffin Billy" down to attend their rally when in actual fact they were both at Temple Newsam
