They are planning a fantastic event in March 2027 and hope to see everyone there.

What is SteamFest?- On the March long weekend in Tasmania, SteamFest brings history to life over three days with one of the biggest collections of working steam machinery in Australia, Steam train rides, exhibitions of pioneering skills showing how things were done in yesteryear, ploughing displays and a full wood chopping competition on Monday.

Plenty of kid’s entertainment plus lots and lots of art, craft and food stalls. And, of course, their Krauss steam loco running every half hour, all day long! Held in the Town of Murals and Home of SteamFest – Sheffield Tasmania. Buy your tickets online .

SteamFest is the major fundraising event for the Sheffield Steam and Heritage Centre. Profits are used to restore heritage machinery and to educate the new generations in the wonders of steam. The event would not be possible without the wonderful support from volunteers and sponsors.
