The Royal Oak pub is in the village of Okeford Fitzpaine in the county of Dorset. There is a blue plaque on the wall to mark the site where the concept of the steam fair first evolved. I have left a link for anyone interested. Sadly it has been cancelled this year because of spiralling costs, but there are plans to hold the world famous event in 2024.

A pity about the steam fair. Costs just get out of hand, so they either reduce the size of events or have them only every other year.
One of the problems here is people bringing their own drinks instead of buying so the organizers don't make enough to cover costs. Just imagine people bringing their own wine bottles but expecting to have them opened and get glasses for free....
Happy Tuesday. Cheers, Rosa.
Good day.
