Steam, Smoke and Speed

Vintage Farming Wales

The quiet of the valleys is often broken by the roar of engines. We have a thriving culture of mechanical preservation and motorsport, ranging from the nostalgic to the high-octane.

Vintage Rallies

  • Teifi Valley Vintage Show (May 26th, 2025): A massive gathering of tractors and classic cars with a sprawling "Autojumble" for collectors.
  • Towy Valley Vintage Show (June 28th-29th, 2025): See history in action with threshing demonstrations where vintage tractors power traditional machinery.
  • Llandeilo Classic Car Show (July 13th, 2025): A polished "concours" event where classic British sports cars take over the Georgian streets of Llandeilo.

High-Octane Action

  • Tractor Pulling (Martletwy, Aug 9th, 2025): Watch modified tractors with 1,000+ horsepower compete to pull a weighted sledge down a track. Expect noise, black smoke, and wheelies.
  • Lawn Mower Racing (Pembrey, Sept 6th-7th, 2025): Yes, really. Modified ride-on mowers reaching 50mph on a professional circuit. It is frantic, technical, and brilliant fun.

Steam Heritage

Pembrey Autumn Steam Rally (Sept 27th-28th, 2025): Full-size traction engines and miniature railways set against a coastal backdrop.
