Although originally conceived as solely for steam a variety of other
vehicles now attend, including vintage cars and tractors, alongside
stalls showcasing local crafts like clog making and stick carving.https://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pi...ictureid=71920

Started in 1980 by steam enthusiast David McNamee, it has grown into a
popular, family-friendly event on the steam rally calendar, raising
over £100,000 for local causes. Admission is free, with donations
supporting village groups.https://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pi...ictureid=71919

The next event is scheduled for June 7th and 8th, and will be held by
the village green this year instead of its birthplace, and home for
the last 42 years, the Hark to Bounty Inn.
