Compare the contrast for yourself 150 years of steam technology – from HMS Warrior 1860 the sail and steam powered warship, to a special appearance from the 2009 land speed record breaking British Steam Car!
The age of steam - modern and old will be bought to life with talks from Don Wales the land speed record breaking driver and his team, displays of traction engines and road locomotives at work, steam wagon rides, model boat and railway exhibitions and a host of Victorian dock characters.
Discover the history of Portsmouth Dockyard as one of the greatest industrial complexes in the world throughout the 18th and 19th centuries with a visit to the Dockyard’s Block Mils*, Dockyard Apprentice exhibition and saw bench and stone crusher displays.
Then be entertained by brass bands, morris dancers, street entertainment, more steam talks, traditional fairground rides and craft market complete with a bigger and better Real Ale, Cider and Sausage Festival. Plus entrance to the Historic Dockyard attractions** all make for what promises to be a fantastic day out for all the family!
