Many of these larger vehicles will be offering free bus rides around the showground from the festival’s pop-up bus stops throughout the day.
There will be displays of vintage cars from all sorts of makes and models, while petrolheads can also admire more unique vehicles such as custom-built motorcycles and tanks and armoured cars that have been used in military service.
For those visiting with kids, there will also be a traditional funfair with family games.
There’s also an autojumble and farmers market for visitors to pick up some goodies to take home, as well as local food and drink vendors selling refreshments all day.
