Chipping Steam Fair
Chipping, Lancashire
24th – 26th May
The first Chipping Steam Fair was held in 1998 to support efforts to raise funds for a new Village Hall. With steam engines, classic tractors, cars and bikes on show, what was originally organised as a one-off event has now become a firm fixture in the calendar of many enthusiasts.
Held at the Chipping Show Ground on the outskirts of the Forest of Bowland the fair also features a crafts tent, children’s entertainment and live music until midnight that attracts visitors from miles around and all walks of life.
