Stradbally Steam Rally – 60th Anniversary

The 60th event in the series will take place in Stradbally, Co Laois,
on August 4th & 5th, 2024 (Irish bank holiday – not the same as the UK). This is considered by many to be the premier event in the calendar of steam and vintage shows throughout Ireland. 

It attracts a wide range of working exhibits and a huge attendance of visitors. It is much enhanced by its very convenient location to the rear of Main Street, adjacent to all of the town facilities. 

The rallies are approved under the code of conduct of the National Traction Engine Trust.

Whats on...

The magnificent Stradbally Hall will host what is considered by many to be the premium event in Ireland’s steam & vintage calendar, and it’s Full Steam Ahead for the 60th National Steam Rally 2024.
