CARRINGTON ENJOYS A FANTASTIC TWO-DAY STEAM AND HERITAGE SHOW

After months of preparation, the rally organisers were absolutely
delighted to welcome families and enthusiasts from across the country
to their annual heritage celebration.

Originally starting in 1961, Carrington Rally is run completely by a
team of volunteers who are dedicated to keeping the traditional
heritage show magic running for new generations to experience.

The two-day event over the Bank Holiday Sunday and Monday saw main
ring attraction the Knights of Albion jousting to wow the crowds,
steam engines seen from a new viewing platform, drainage machinery
demonstrations in the working field, Lauren Williams 'Firefly' aerial
performances, a dog show, as well as live music and dancing all day.

There was Hobby Horse Racing for the kids

Visitors were able to wander around and admire magnificent steam
engines, vintage tractors, fairground rides and craft stalls.

Sadly a planned Lancaster bomber flypast had to be suspended due to
high winds and safety concerns.

A spokesperson for the event thanked everyone for making the rally
such a special weekend. “We’ve had a fantastic two days
celebrating our heritage together across generations. Special thanks
to all our exhibitors, volunteers, vendors, and visitors from toddlers
to grandparents.”
