Festival of Transport – Free Entry

Includes Summer Cider & Sausages Festival 16th & 17th May

Get ready to shift into high gear! This May, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway is bursting into life for the spectacular Festival of Transport. It’s a high-octane celebration of everything on wheels, tracks, and steam!
Experience a stunning assembly of vintage vehicles as they take over the event field at Havenstreet Station. From the gleaming chrome of classic cars to the rugged power of vintage tractors and commercial vehicles, there is a mechanical marvel around every corner.

If you love cars, lorries, bikes, trucks or any type of vehicle, then this is the event for you! Everything on display is someone’s pride and joy, from the vintage truck, an old-fashioned bicycle to a modern day beautifully polished car. There will be something to appeal to everyone’s tastes.

 

Here’s what’s fueling the fun:

A World of Wheels: Explore an incredible display of classic cars, motorbikes, commercial vehicles, and steam traction engines.
The Power of Steam: Watch our majestic locomotives in action! Hear the whistle blow and feel the ground shake as these iron giants haul passengers through the beautiful Island countryside.
Live Commentary & Parades: Catch the highlights as proud owners showcase their pride and joy in the main arena.
Family Adventure: With live music, a vintage fairground atmosphere, and the Train Story Discovery Centre to explore, it’s a full-throttle day out for all ages!
Whether you’re a petrolhead, a steam nut, or just looking for an unforgettable family Sunday, the Festival of Transport delivers nostalgia at full speed.
