Heavy rained has failed to dampen spirits at the Golden Valley Vintage and Country Fair.
Crowds were out in force in rural Herefordshire for the full day of entertainment at Moorhampton Park Farm, the home of Gwatkin Cider between Abbey Dore and Vowchurch.
Hundreds of vehicles, including classic cars, engines, motorbikes and tractors, were being exhibited, but taking pride of place was John Fowler general purpose steam traction engine, VF 2984, owned by David Williams.
There was plenty else on offer, including falconry, medieval re-enactment, farm animals, family dog show, tug of war, the Pony Club, axe throwing, Paws for Thought dog dancing, a family dog show and a range of country stalls selling produce, crafts and more.
Entering the site from the car park, visitors walked past a range of classic cars, including a handful of Austin Minis, before the sound of Foxwhelp Morris caught people's attention as they found keen volunteers to try their hand at the iconic dancing.
Among the displays in the main arena were the vintage tractors, spanning several decades and featuring models from International, Ford and Leyland among others.
As visitors made their way into the second field, they passed the Woolsey’s Miniature Railway, fundraising for good causes. Once through the gate, exhibits included Black Mountains Falconry before two more arenas featured dog shows and the infectious tug of war competitions where various clubs battled it out.
There was also a section for the Pony Club, allowing younger riders to compete in a variety of disciplines, and a splattering of local food and drinks vendors to keep punters fueled.
With other trade stands lining the paths around the site, a heavy shower on Saturday afternoon failed to dampen spirits for what was an enjoyable afternoon in Herefordshire.
