Martin Oliver, managing director of the Great Dorset Steam Fair said they had explored all options, but it had become evident that it would be both irresponsible and unfeasible to continue with the event this year.

Tickets which have been booked for the 2020 event will remain valid for the rescheduled event, however, those preferring a refund should email: enquiries@gdsf.co.uk quoting their order number.
