Great Northern Steam Fair 10-13 april
 

Annual event at Beamish well worth a visit http://www.beamish.org.uk/great-north-steam-fair/

We have just booked a holiday in a house only a few miles from Beamish that weekend so we can visit, very much looking forward to our first visit....

I think that I'll try and get over for this event, depends on work etc.
There are several things that I will want to photograph...........

Fantastic last year looking forward to it

Accommodation booked. It's 20 years or more since my last visit so I guess there may have been a few changes! Looking forward to the event.

Will be there with the little Wallis while the big engine is in dry dock

I'm going too bob! should be quite a few TT members by the sounds of it!!

I'm driving up, leaving 5am Thursday. Staying Thursday night/Friday night. Is there any chance of evening activity in Beamish?

There is a night time photo shot sometimes, but you need to buy a ticket if it is on..

Otherwise museum closes 5 pm..

We also have 'the Edwardians at Play' which takes place the week before, it is going to be a busy month.......

I was up there two weeks ago , not been up since last September but there's always something happening around the museum of interest .
I came across the Mann tractor in the town which I have not seen for a while , it would be nice to see it running one day.
Just waiting for the transport blog to give details of this years guest vehicles etc , great day out thumbsup

Shame it does not get finished and used.

Hotel booked! Can't wait!

As my 95 year old father is having a cataract operation on the 11th, I'll have to give this one a miss.
Anyway, the rest of you - Have a good time !!! .......

Looking forward to seeing the Tarmac Sentinel's together.

The Exhibits list has now been updated even further -

I was up there on Saturday for the Edwardians At Play event and had a great day but this weekend should be a something else .
One or two exhibits due to attend are new to me so here's hoping for some good weather. :cool:

Ladies & Gents

Here are a few taster photos from the Edwardians at Play event, I apologise for a couple of non road steam photos, but I thought that they were worth sharing. I believe that all of the exhibits that are shown here, will be running next weekend.

Cheers

James

Thanks James, are you up for trying to cut 3 minutes off your lap time for the site on my Wallis?

Who from here is going? Would be nice to put a few faces to names!
