With activities including a visit from the ‘Vikings’ complete with their longship, country music, children’s fun, a helicopter, traction engine and a great variety of vintage and classic vehicles, the event really did have something for everyone.
There was even a slow tractor race, which proved quite a challenge for the competitors.
Photographer Tony Hendron went along to capture some of the atmosphere of the day.
