Netley Marsh Steam and Craft Show - July 2000

The Netley Marsh Steam and Craft Show is now in its 30th year - and has grown to be one of the year's major events. Held towards the end of July, the show attracts a large number of visitors and exhibitors from around the Southampton and Bournemouth areas. The show has a large number of engines in steam - and an impressive collection of vintage, veteran and classic cars, motorcycles, buses, lorries, military and emergency service vehicles. Oh yes - and then there is the craft show, the trade stands, the beer tents, the live music........
