The South West’s largest festival of vintage transport returns.

This weekend (2nd to 4th August 2024) at South Cerney Airfield, Cirencester will see the return of The Gloucestershire Vintage & Country Extravaganza, now in its 50th year and regarded as one of the countries largest and best vintage and steam rally’s come to town with an expected 25,000 visitors.

The Gloucestershire Vintage & Country Extravaganza attracts thousands of exhibitors and visitors from across the country and actively raises money for both national and regional charities. The show features a live arena with non-stop demonstrations from steam to dancing tractors, yes you heard that right dancing tractors! …And much much more.

After successful post covid shows in 2022 and 2023, the 2024 event is set to give the whole family an amazing time! This awesome annual event returns to South Cerney Airfield on the weekend of Friday 2nd August – Sunday 4th August 2024 is the largest show of its kind still run entirely by volunteers.

Each year the show features non-stop steam demonstrations and literally thousands of vintage vehicles from classic cars, tractors, commercial vehicles, vintage bus and coaches, motorcycles, scooters, traction engines, miniature steam, industrial trucks, military vehicles, caravans to emergency vehicles. Plus a Countryside Arena featuring dog shows, ferret racing, rare breeds, animal conservation, alpacas, shire horses, horse logging, falconry displays to children’s pony rides.

The shows goal has always been to give the best value for money family day out in Gloucestershire, with something for all of the family to enjoy. The show has evolved a lot over the past 40years, but the mission remains the same – to inform, educate, entertain and celebrate our unique transport history and the preservation of historical vehicles!

As well as the expected vintage vehicles and steam vehicles, there will also be an Animal and Countryside Arena, vintage fairground attractions and a new addition for 2024 – an entertainment tent featuring live music, dance lessons, and vintage hair and fashion. Add a huge array of trade stands, food and drink stalls including the We’ll Meet Again Tea Room, and free vintage bus rides, and it makes for an unforgettable day out for the whole family.

Get ready for an amazing weekend of heritage.
