Scorton Steam event organiser Craig Whittingham said: “We are thrilled to be back – it has been a long two years for everyone involved in Scorton Steam.

“Some of our exhibitors, stall holders and visitors have been with us from the start, so there’s a Scorton Steam family that can’t wait to reunite!

“We believe we are back with a vengeance. We have our most exciting lineup – the Stannage Stunt Team is fearless and will take your breath away with its daring.

“Our tractor pullers are all souped-up and raring to go, our vehicle exhibitors are at the final polish stage, and everyone is eager to welcome what we hope will be a bumper number of visitors.”
