Enjoy a weekend of rural nostalgia at Longdown Activity Farm, Ashurst, and visit The Longdown Vintage Farm Rally featuring vintage tractors and machinery as well as bygone exhibits on Saturday 26th May and Sunday 27th May 2018 between 10am and 4pm each day. The Farm itself will be open until 5pm.
The two-day event is organised by the New Forest Group of the National Vintage Tractor and Engine Club. It will feature a static display of vintage tractor beauties, which will be parading and taking part in events. There will be period working machinery such as a working sawmill with fascinating woodcutting demonstrations, static engines, and other country exhibits. Don’t miss the Victorian Country Kitchen featuring costumed Victorian workers and cooks showing how we used to produce and make our food.
Enjoy live music with folk singers Nomad (Saturday only), and also hand-made musical instruments which will add entertainment to the rural country charm. There will be plenty for the children: bumpy tractor rides at intervals throughout the day and the children v tractor tug of war! (Ground conditions permitting.)
All this, plus you can meet friendly farm animals during a full schedule of farm activities lasting all day, which includes bottle-feeding kid goats and calves and small animal handling in the new Animal Encounter Barn.
There’ll be a rural surprise around every corner!
Entry to the show is included in the normal admission price to Longdown Activity Farm. Children under 3 are free. Because of the nature of the show, some exhibits or attractions may not appear or be replaced at short notice.
