A recap of the Stotfold Mill Steam Fair Event

In the middle of May, we had to pleasure again of attending the Stotfold Mill Steam Fair, that takes place at Stotfold Mill in Bedfordshire. This event has been running for 19 years and is one of the most popular events in Central Bedfordshire.


It attracts thousands of visitors over the weekend, combining the wonders of steam power and family entertainment. All in support of the mill and keeping it open for visitors to visit free of charge the rest of the year.


For more information on the mill by visiting their website.


The main arena hosted a variety of displays, including the Swords of Penda – The Children of Loki a re-enactment group, The Rockets a group of young stunt performers, and Flyin’ Ryan, a high-octane stunt rider.

There were stalls from local organisations, craft vendors and charities, as well as an array of food and drink available. Let’s not forget the beer tent which hosted an array of live music.


This is where we were set up, providing the sound and lighting for all shows across both days. With performers such as the Highlands, Folk like Us and Abacus and rock bands Henlow Hurricanes and Straight Outta Fordham, there was plenty to keep the crowds entertained.

For the family, there was a fun fair with helter-skelter, bumper cars and so much more and a family fun area with free inflatables from toddlers to teenagers.


Not forgetting the most important, the steam engines that were on display.


It was a great day out and we enjoyed being a part of it again.
