Valley Ironworks

Steam powered every aspect of British life for nearly 200 years between 1750 and 1950. This year, step into the Valley Ironworks sales stand, a bustling hub of innovation designed to bring your farm into the modern age. Inspired by the stands used by dealerships at early 20th-century rural trade fairs, Valley Ironworks will be displaying the best and latest technology available to the forward-thinking pre-war farmer. You will have buyers’ choice of a range of steam traction engines, threshing equipment, and the latest innovations – petrol-powered tractors, stationary engines and various implements to bring your farm into the twentieth century. Discover what these products were for, how they worked, and how much they would have set you back. Valley Ironworks is open for business!

Valley Ironworks will be at the festival Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
