[RWHB1]

SLAIDBURN STEAM RALLY, or The Slaidburn Steam and Vintage Vehicle
Display, to give it its official name, is an annual event held in the
village of Slaidburn in the Forest of Bowland.

Although originally conceived as solely for steam a variety of other
vehicles now attend, including vintage cars and tractors, alongside
stalls showcasing local crafts like clog making and stick carving.

Started in 1980 by steam enthusiast David McNamee, it has grown into a
popular, family-friendly event on the steam rally calendar, raising
over £100,000 for local causes. Admission is free, with donations
supporting village groups.

The next event is scheduled for June 7th and 8th, and will be held by
the village green this year instead of its birthplace, and home for
the last 42 years, the Hark to Bounty Inn.

VINTAGE VEHICLES

Despite its name the rally is not restricted solely to steam powered
vehicles.
