Carters Steam Fair

Carters Steam Fair (no apostrophe is used in the name) was a travelling vintage fair in England, founded in 1977 by John Carter (1942–2000), later managed by the next generation of Carters.

Carters operated and maintained a large collection of vintage rides and side stalls, ranging in date from the 1870s to the 1960s, and every season they travelled with vintage heavy lorries and traditional showmen's living wagons. The fair provided an opportunity to enjoy historic equipment and artwork.

Their operating base and restoration workshops were immediately adjacent to White Waltham Airfield, near Maidenhead, in Berkshire.

Carters held a final 'travelling steam-fair' ending at Prospect Park, Reading on 30 October 2022, finding new homes for some of their vintage rides, with the remainder up for sale.
