About this event

We are pleased to be returning to the Andover Steam Yard in 2022 for a run out into the Hampshire Countryside before setting up a road working scene as once seen up and down the land. We will start our day from a lovely country pub in the heart of Longparish (just east of Andover) at around 09:00 photographing the engines over breakfast before heading out on the lanes around Hampshire. About halfway through the day we will stop and set up a roadside encampment where we will have many cameos to set up for your photography delight. Around 14:00 we will start to make our way back to the pub slowly stopping at various places along the way to create some more interesting road scenes from yesteryear. 

The Pub at our start and finish location will be offering breakfast rolls and hot drinks to start the day, and will be offering a full menu on our return. We plan to be back at the pub around 16:00 where the engines will be posed for further photography before they head back home.

The Andover yard is home to an extraordinary collection of steam road and portable engines (not to mention the occasional vintage tractor). Our day will see 3 or 4 various types of engine in steam (confirmation of which engines will be available nearer the day as they have still to have be steam tested). These will be joined by other unique treats from private collections.

Expect plenty of action out on the lanes during the day and at the halfway point along with the opportunity of some good local fare and of course beer,(at extra cost).
