A popular family show steamed into Chickerell at the weekend, drawing large crowds in the summer sunshine.
Chickerell Steam & Vintage Show, held at Moor Farm in Knights in the Bottom, attracted steam enthusiasts, families and day-trippers from across the local area and beyond. The warm weather helped bring out strong attendances, with visitors enjoying a lively and welcoming atmosphere throughout the site.
Organised and run by local volunteers, the show has grown into one of the area’s standout summer fixtures while retaining its friendly, village-style feel.
There was plenty on offer for all ages, including traction engines, rollers and showman’s engines, alongside vintage tractors, classic cars, lorries and motorbikes. Visitors could also enjoy a funfair, beer tent and live music across the weekend.
Elsewhere, model layouts, country crafts and a wide range of trade and craft stalls proved popular, while axe-men demonstrations, historic military vehicles and emergency service displays added to the variety.
Organisers thanked everyone involved for helping make the event such a success.
In a message issued after the weekend, they said: “On behalf of everyone involved with the Chickerell Steam & Vintage Show, I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s event such a fantastic success.
