With our limited events during and after the Covid pandemic, coverage of Sandstone in international magazines has been less than we previously enjoyed. So we were pleased to see that Vintage Sprit magazine covered our Easter event with a letter from contributor, Peter Brockington.

You can access details of Vintage Spirit, which covers Steam and Industrial Heritage, on the following link.

Although Covid is no longer an issue, we were obviously unable to host the number of events that we normally would have held at Sandstone Estates over the past few years.  However, the demand is returning and we did have a successful Easter Festival. 

Our next event will be the Cherry Steam Festival which has always been well attended. We will again be partnering with a number of local attractions as in 2021. The Cherry Steam Festival will run from Friday 18^th November to Saturday 19^th November 2022. - Click here to view full details and how to book

We recently featured, on the 19^th May, the presentation of a large Skoda works plate by Svatopluk (Sváťa) Šlechta  from The Czech Republic. Sváťa has now sent us the full history of the plate and pictures of the two locomotives that carried the plate during their service in the former Czechoslovakia. Click here to read the story.
