Welcome to Horton’s Steam Fair
Discover the Magic of Yesteryear
with Authentic Vintage Amusements
At Horton’s Steam Fair, we do more than just bring rides to events - we bring pure, unbridled nostalgia.
Our vintage amusements, lovingly restored and full of charm, let you and your family and friends experience the magic of a real old-fashioned fairground. From the dazzling lights of our Steam Gallopers Carousel to the swooping thrill of our Chair-o-Planes, they transport you straight back to the golden days of British fairgrounds.
We’re proud to say we’re known as something a little extra-special.

From Our Family to Yours
Founded and established by James Horton in 1990, Horton’s Steam Fair is a proudly family-run and led business.
We pour our heart and soul into every amusement because we’re not just a fairground company, we’re keepers of a timeless tradition. Our rides and attractions aren’t just rented out - they’re cherished, hand-crafted pieces of history that we want to share with you.
We care about providing a personal service that’s built on decades of passion, dedication and a love for preserving the magic of fairgrounds.
