2012 will see the Stroud Vintage Transport & Engine Club (Link) stage their 38th Annual Show at South Cerney Airfield on the outskirts of Cirencester in Gloucestershire.

The show has grown dramatically in recent years and is now widely regarded as one of the biggest and best Steam, Vintage and Countryside events in the UK. Attracting thousands of exhibits from all corners of the British Isles, as well as some from further afield - this really is the place to see 'The British way of life' at its best, and were better than in the heart of the Cotswolds.

Witness the power and beauty of over 100 Steam Engines of every shape, size and type we could muster, displayed in a family friendly environment that will transport you to a long lost time when steam was king. From the humble steam roller steadily trundling up and down to the enormous road locomotives hauling equally impressive loads around our huge demonstration arena, or the traction engines at work on the timber mills and showman's engines generating in the fairground, you'll be in awe of the display we annually put together - pulled from all corners of the UK.

 Of course the event isn't just about Steam Power. We cover a vast array of countryside crafts, classic transport, bygone skills, agricultural practices and of course modern day restoration and pure grit and determination, the very bedrock that this nation was built upon.

Everything you can imagine can be found on the ground ranging from Vintage Aircraft and Helicopters to Classic Motorcycles and Buses that some of the family will recall owning and travelling on. Heavy haulage commercial vehicles mix with small vans, stationary engines, push bikes and prams!

Emergency service vehicles and military transport from copious conflicts present fascinating viewing and where else can you get up close and personal with over 800 vintage and classic cars? 

Our Tractor display is second to none, with many of the national clubs choosing South Cerney to attend and call their own providing our visitors with a truly wonderful selection of agricultural machinery. Industry is represented as well with the record breaking Autotruck display as well as many expertly restored and interesting displays that are presented in the Out Side Exhibit section of the event.

Our Animal and Countryside selection is a must see. Exhibits range from a diverse array of animals including Shire Horses, Rare Breeds, Poultry, Alpacas and Ferrets as well as copious displays covering all aspects of life in the countryside. Of course do not miss the Countryside Arena, which features continuous demonstrations throughout the weekend which include Horse Logging, Falconry on Horseback and various Dog Agility displays.
