WIN tickets to the Gloucestershire Steam & Vintage Extravaganza
By: Web Editor
The Gloucestershire Steam & Vintage Extravaganza makes a welcome return to Cotswold Airport (previously known as Kemble Airfield) this year from Friday 6th - Sunday 8th August 2010, taking the show in to its 36th year.
This year Old Glory will sponsor the event for the first time, so as a special treat for our readers, we’ve got 20 pairs of tickets to give away!
The show was originally conceived for steam enthusiasts, but the range of exhibits has grown year on year. It now boasts a huge array of vintage transport, including buses, coaches, motorcycles, military vehicles, classic cars, tractors, aircraft, commercial vehicles, traction engines and historic caravans. A live action arena, interactive demonstrations, rare breeds, shire horses, trade stands and a vintage fun fair along with hundreds of curiosity stalls ranging from Victorian memorabilia, antique sewing and knitting machines to model dolls houses, petrol pumps, vintage garden tools and 1940s – 1950’s home wares makes this three day extravaganza one of the UK's best value family outdoor shows.
Considered by many visitors to be the heart of the show, the steam section will be the largest ever, packed with more than 60 full-size traction engines, steamrollers and showmans' engines.
The huge motorcycle display area will contain more than 150 models - surpassing last year's record entries, and more than 150 vintage tractors will also be displayed dating from the 1920s to the 1980s – plus much, much more!
Don’t miss out - be one of the 15,000 visitors expected to attend this year’s show!
