May I extend a warm welcome from the organising committee to all who visit this website. Fleetwood Festival of Transport which is unofficially, and traditionally, known as “Tram Sunday” will take place this year on 15th July, 10am- 4pm.

The event extends throughout most of the town of Fleetwood with its unique street tramway now upgraded to accommodate the new generation of trams which will be serving Fleetwood from April onwards. Most of the community, its residents, businesses, charities, an army of volunteers and vehicle enthusiasts work together to create something of interest for the whole family all in one huge, free event.

This year we are hosting the Leyland to Fleetwood road run for the second time and this in itself brings many historic commercial vehicles, buses and cars to complement our own regular exhibitors. Well over 200 vehicles are expected ranging from steam vehicles almost a century old to modern day classics. Many visitors will be able to say, ” my Dad had a car like that”, or “I used to go to school on a bus like that”.

We are expecting some of the older trams to be around on the day and of course the new Flexcity trams will be in service from Blackpool to Ash Street Fleetwood. The steam carousel will be here along with other fairground rides, miniature railway, dancers, bands, performers, and countless other forms of entertainment.

There will be dozens of stalls including many selling transport related items and bus models alongside other trade, charity and local stalls.

If you are intending to visit you will be very welcome and don’t forget to buy a programme with all the details of our event on the day. The reasonable cost will be a great help to our volunteers who have to pay out several thousand pounds each year to ensure the roads are closed and our visitors and exhibitors are kept safe.

Please contact us if you are interested in exhibiting your vehicle, running a stall or helping as a volunteer.

See you in July.
