steam engines followed by the Southwold and Reydon Corps of Drums, a demonstration of kite flying by Team Spectrum, a parade of vintage and classic cars, and a commercial and military vehicle parade. There was a special pageant, From the sickle to the combine harvester, that told of the evolution of harvesting over the ages. In September 2018 the 44th Grand Henham Steam Rally for the first time let attendees drive a steam engine. Another new display was steam roller barrel rolling. The 2018 rally also included a Dog and Duck Show, where trained sheepdogs herded ducks, and a display of working Shires and Suffolk Punch horses. Other events have included a stunt team display, the Ken Fox motorcycle Wall of Death troupe, horse-drawn carriage rides and a dog agility display. 2020 and 2021 events The 2020 rally was to have included more than 30 full size and miniature traction engines, steam rollers, lorries and cars. There would be working demonstrations of steam power, including threshing, sawing benches, and stone crushing. The organizing committee for the 2020 rally considered cashless payments, wide one-way aisles to make social distancing practical and greater cleaning, but it steadily became obvious that there would be no way to make the event safe for visitors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 3 July 2020 it was decided to cancel the 46th Grand Henham Steam Rally, which was to have been held on 19–20 September 2020, due to government restrictions on large events. The next rally was planned for 18−19 September 2021 at Henham Park. Although Government COVID-19 restrictions had been eased in July 2021, and despite careful consideration given to options for safely running the 2021 rally, the organising committee felt that continuing uncertainties, and the short time available in which to organise the event, were such that it could not be held in those circumstances. It was therefore cancelled for the second consecutive year, with the 2022 rally set for 17-18 September 2022.
