LIVE TRAFFIC NSW FOR UPDATES

Thirlmere – Festival Of Steam – POSTPONED

Thirlmere Festival of Steam - 10 Barbour Road Thirlmere 2572

Event Dates:

  • 12 Mar 2022, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
  • 13 Mar 2022, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

Following the weather event that culminated in Wollondilly being declared a natural disaster region, Wollondilly Council and Transport Heritage NSW have jointly agreed to postpone the event to later in the year.

This decision, which has not been taken lightly, has been made in order to respect the renowned event that it has grown to be known as.  Whilst an extremely disappointing for everyone, it does means that the deferred event will not require scaling back and will reflect instead, the grandeur of such a premier steam event for the region.

The village of Thirlmere will come alive with the welcome return of the much loved Thirlmere Festival of Steam this March. Building on 30 years of proud history, the new look festival will take place over tow days and feature more steam locomotives than ever before. There will be at least six historic engines in steam throughout the weekend at the NSW Rail Museum, including the recently overhauled, Legend of Steam Locomotive 3801. In addition to steam train rides, visitors can enjoy cab visits, steam machinery, live steam models and more all weekend.

On Saturday 12 March, the NSW Rail Museum will be open with a variety of steam train rides, driver’s cab visits, a steam and vintage park, mini-train rides and more. A special family friendly event will also take place at Thirlmere sports ground, with carnival rides and activities from 3.00pm.

On Sunday 13 March, the whole village will come to life with market stalls, a street parade including the NSW Police Band, live performances, as well as steam rides and other activities at the NSW Rail Museum.
