HUNTON STEAM GATHERING 2025: BEST PICTURES FROM THE YORKSHIRE DALES
STEAM ENGINE FESTIVAL

The Hunton Steam Gathering returned for its 40th year to celebrate 100
years of agricultural and motoring history.

The vintage and craft fair, which takes place near Bedale in Lower
Wensleydale, hosted a variety of attractions to appeal to everyone –
as well as steam engine enthusiasts.

It was founded by the local landlord of the Countryman’s Inn in
Hunton called David Robinson in 1985 who was an avid steam engine
connoisseur.

He established the first event along with local villagers and vintage
collectors and the first rally was held behind the village pub. More
than 1,000 people attended.

This time around, more than 1,000 vehicles were on show.

Take a look through our gallery of the best pictures from the event.
