2025 saw the return of Belvoir Castle Steam and Country Show being held over the August Bank Holiday weekend (23rd- 25th August) within the stunning grounds of Belvoir castle. With impressive displays and exhibits from all over the UK. This was the first year of the show being hosted by Outdoor Shows Ltd and did not disappoint! This show has plenty of potential and we look forward to watching it grow in the years to come.
Hopefully over the next few years, the quality and quantity of the engine line will grow into that of something similar to Astle Park Traction Engine Rally also held by Outdoor Shows.
