National Ploughing Championships, Austrey (10th - 11th October, 2026)

This is one of a series of pages which I have uploaded to illustrate facets of steam rallies in the UK. Such events occur all over the country in the summer months, they are easily found by using your favourite search engine and may have anything between a handful of steam engines and over a hundred at an elite few (Old Warden, Welland and Weeting).

This page uses data provided by a reliable source to Simon Patterson. As such the intention is to provide a list of engines present which enthusiasts can use to judge whether a potential visit might be rewarding.

I have used my own idiosyncratic engine classification for consistency, it differs from that used by the Traction Engine Register which readers can consult for further information.
