This weeks photos were taken when we attend their steam rally weekend on September 19th and 20th.
We had a great weekend there, the weather was good and plenty to see and do.
Hollycombe steam collection is located in Liphook, Hampshire. They have a selection of their own steam engines/rollers and a couple of railways which run round the grounds. The main attraction is the large fully working steam fair which includes Big Wheel, Chair-o-Planes, Steam Yachts, the Razzel-Dazzel, Gallopers and some smaller children's rides. They also have a Bioscope which is one of only two in the world and many organs. It's a great day out and the weekend we were there they had one of their fairground at night events.

The narrow gauge railway was very busy all day, here you can see two locos pulling the carriages.
