25th Steam & Vintage Festival
posted on 01/10/2010
The 25th Steam & Vintage Festival takes place at Toddington over the weekend of 9th and 10th October. This event is independent of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, but is organised by a group of railway volunteers. It is one of the biggest rallies of its sort in the region – and this year promises to be bigger than ever.
