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.
Have a look at some photographs from both the 2011 Clydesdale and Vintage Day and the 2010 Clydesdale and Vintage Day.

Held in August every second year, the Beverley Truck Muster Weekend is a great opportunity to see and admire a variety of trucks and talk to their proud owners.
Stationary engines chug away during the day and teams of Clydesdale horses are harnessed to show visitors some original "horsepower".
Held over the weekend, this two-day event is a relaxed and fun way to see some great trucks and enjoy a day in the country.
Check out some photos from the 2011 Beverley Truck Muster.
