Celtic Steamers was founded in 2001
by steam enthusiasts throughout Ireland. We formed
a committee and with an aim to raise donations for
various charities throughout Ireland.
To date we have
raised donations of approximately thirty five thousand
euro (€35,000). Our road runs
are normally a three day event, with fifteen to twenty
miles a day between towns. We have presently averaged
out, fifteen to twenty engines per day plus model replicates.

Hall Steam Rally : Irish Steam Rally, Stradbally
- August 2008
This is considered by many to be the premier event in the calender of steam and vintage shows throughout Ireland. It attracts a wide range of working exhibits and a huge attendance of visitors. It is much enhanced by its very convenient location to the rear of Main Street, adjacent to all of the towns facilities.
