Great Dorset Steam Fair Reviews

500 steam engines in one place and so much more besides - a very entertaining weekend. Well done to GDSF for the world record.

Great event and very family friendly. But absolutely awful and hopeless ticketing setup. The worst I've ever dealt with..... Got on site first thing Sunday morning and all the Internet failed onsite and no back up plan at all. Waiting an hour, then was told I was at the wrong gate. This is the second year of this online fiasco. Mr Oliver please reinstate the old ticketing, it may cost more but outsourcing this critical part has failed utterly.

Wouldn't miss our yearly visit to GDSF . So much to see and do for all ages. You can eat just about any cuisine that you like . The music line-up is fab always something for everyone's taste . Not long to go now

Put it on your bucket list. Something to do for everyone, only problem is you need all 5 days to see the show go once and your be hooked

It's a fantastic experience for all the family it's a step back in time a must to visit at least once in a lifetime

What a shame what ever happened this year the toilets should have been condemned never seen anything like it dont think they have been cleaned since we been here we in the end went to tesco toilets nowhere near enough toilets for the amount of people Electric kept tripping out .who ever organise this year should be sacked .but on the upside the money you saved on facilities you will have a good profit i hope it was worth all the unhappy visitors

We had such a great day out fantastic place really enjoyed ourselves

Brilliant. Go see the WWI trenches while you can. Simply amazing, and made all the more worthwhile due to the reinactor.

The children (under 16's) got in for free on Bank Holiday Monday.

Traffic was a nightmare but all good apart from that

Fabulous collection of working steam vehicles but we arrived the day before the show opened and had to wait at the vehicle reception area for one and a half hours while their IT system was fixed and then another one and a half hour queue to exchange advance purchased tickets for 5 day wristbands the next morning. These queues and the ridiculously long queues for poorly cleaned and serviced festival toilets required a down grade from five stars.

Very good show , everyone should go once in there life !! Can't see all of it in 1day !! Keep the show going as it is !! Nuts too to the HSE jobs worth people !!! Lol

Yet again a fabulous experience so much to see & do, eat & drink something for all ages & abilities & disabilities such helpful staff & exhibitors, roll on next year.
