It now boasts a huge array of vintage transport, including buses, coaches, motorcycles, military vehicles, classic cars, tractors, aircraft, commercial vehicles, traction engines and historic caravans. Plus a live action arena, interactive demonstrations, rare breeds, shire horses, trade stands, a vintage fun fair and hundreds of curiosity stalls ranging from Victorian memorabilia, antique sewing and knitting machines, folding accordions, model doll houses, petrol pumps, to vintage garden tools and
1940s – 1950’s home wares. This year’s Military section consists of over 100 vehicles of all sizes and ages and should
