oh thanks looks like lots of fun, how many have you got this year because i might pay a visit to the event ?

This was without doubt one of the most enjoyable events I covered last year and is highly recomended. For those who wish to savour the brews on offer at the venue the pub is but a ten minute stroll from Liss station on the Portsmouth Direct from Waterloo!

do you have any photos that u took there that i maybe could see ?

The Sewards gathering at the Spread Eagle pub may not be the biggest event in the county but I have heard a lot of very favourable comments from people who have exhibited and visited there, it has the feel of an old fashioned get together.
The road run is very popular as it is open to any vehicle that wants to take part from bicycles to traction engines, even models have made the 11 mile trip to Petersfield and back.

Things are going well with this years event planning. We currently have more than 80 exhibits confirmed, including Full size Steam, Miniature Steam, Vintage and Classic Cars, Commercials, Tractors, Stationary engines, Buses, Motorcycles, Collections and displays.

The route for the Road Run will be the same as last year. 12 mile loop from Liss to Petersfield, driving right through the middle of Petersfield.

Great, got some nice pictures of the vehicles on the road last year, looking forward to taking some more, especially the steamers.

I live 5 miles up the road and I'd never heard of this before!!

Typically it's fallen on an already too busy weekend, but it's so close we'll have to try and visit.

Fingers crossed for a dryish weekend.

What time will the engines be going through Petersfield?

8945 8th July 2008 01:49 PM

Just looked on the website and it says that the road run starts at 2pm!

wseward 8th July 2008 08:55 PM

They should be going through Petersfield between 2.45pm and 3.30pm, then they will head back to the pub at Liss.

Entry to the event is FREE so come and join us

Miss it, miss out!!
