Uplifting stories for Norfolk and Suffolk
The Henham Steam and Country Show (formerly the Grand Henham Steam Rally) takes place on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd September 2024 at Henham Park, near Southwold. As well as offering a fantastic family day out with exciting displays, parades and attractions, visitors will once again be able to steer one of the show’s steam engines and find out what it takes to manoeuvre one of these incredible machines.
Public steering is always a popular part of the event, with a large number of visitors taking part in exchange for a donation to charity. Public steering will take place on both days in the Len Murray Arena, which will also feature displays from the Bolddog FMX Team, Spectrum Kites, Ben Long Falconry and steam roller barrel rolling.
Meanwhile in the Parade Ring sponsored by Farnham Leisure, there will be displays from Will’s Working Spaniels and the Lowestoft Dog Agility Display Team. Around the show, there will also be hundreds of vintage, classic and custom vehicles, working steam engines, live music on the band stand, a vintage fairground, children’s entertainment including Storm in a Teacup stilt walkers, a stamp trail and avenues of trade stalls and rural crafts.
As a charity, the show raises thousands of pounds each year for local organisations including Wangford Community Council, Blyth Valley Rotary and the Parochial Church Councils of Sotherton, Uggeshall and Wangford-cum-Henham.
Each year, the organisers also donate to additional beneficiaries and this year have chosen SERV Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, Suffolk Accident and Rescue Service (SARS) and Norfolk and Waveney Mind.
Entry is £17.00 on the gate for adults and over 14s, £3 for children aged 8-14 years and children under 8 go free. There is also ample free parking.
