Held in June each year, this is a day of nostalgia. Clydesdale horses and vintage tractors are in the field with tillage implements of the past. See the earth being turned by a four run mouldboard or a seven disc plough being pulled by a pair, or team, of Clydesdales. You be the judge of a straight furrow of the correct depth! Interact with the Clydesdales and their handlers. Talk with the 'old-timers' about farming in times gone by.
