The Cumbria Steam Gathering will be going ahead as usual in 2026, dates for your diary are 25th and 26th of July.
Booking forms for trader and autojumble pitches are available to print off from the trader page.
Once again the Cumbria Steam Gathering has attracted some of the finest examples of preserved machinery and vehicles in the North West. The introduction of a class for modern trucks has added a new dimension and provides an interesting comparison between old and new. The old time fairground is always worth a visit as is the craft exhibition in the main marquee. Children`s entertainers The Cheshire Mascots were very popular last year and will be appearing again over the two days of the rally. Look overhead to admire the kite flying display from Smile Factor, follow the dust to enjoy the Lawn Mower Racers in action.
