The new venue has enough space for all the many exhibits, stalls, food and drink stands and a large show arena, which is just as well as entries to take part in this popular event have flooded in.
Steam enthusiasts and lovers of community shows can look forward to steam engines, miniature steam, agricultural vehicles, classic cars and all things retro, motorcycles and vintage cycles, industrial trucks, tractors, commercial vehicles, military vehicles, static displays, traders and auto jumble, a craft tent, local charity stalls, local food and drink and fairground rides.
