Summary

Description Coventry Victor Midget 540 cc petrol stationary engine used for testing aircraft hydraulics with main engines off

Euston Park Rural Pastimes Event Celebrating 21 Years! A traditional, English Country Fair for all the family. Has now been held every June for 21 years. It began as a fundraising show for our local Blackbourne Churches and St Nicholas' Hospice Care with the kind permission of our President The Duke of Grafton, who allowed the event to be held in the magnificent setting of Euston Park. Together with John Farrow (the farm manager at that time) and Tim Fogden we set up a volunteer committee, which has continued to run this successful one day Show. We have raised over £370,000 for our causes over the years. The programme has been broadly similar each year, but with increasing entries the demand for space has required more parking and display areas. A new entrance between the stationary engines and stalls, leads past the traction engines to the new Grafton Ring specifically for tractors. The main Norfolk Ring has a constant programme of events, displays, demonstrations and parades. It is surrounded by band music, a busy tea tent and further stalls. Leading past the Craft Tent, the Suffolk Ring is home to a large display of Heavy Horses. Nearby is the start of the hugely popular Farm Rides. It has also been associated with a magnificent display of flowers in Euston Church. There are several catering outlets, but the most popular are the excellent lunches served in the Hall kitchen. Keeping very much to the same format we hope to continue to attract the numbers, which filled the car park completely last year. What to see: Rural Crafts Countryside Area Steam Engines (Traction Engines, Road Roller, Commercial and Public Service Vehicles) Tractors Lorries Heavy Horses Classic and Vintage Cars Motorcycles Stationary Engines Three Show Rings (Norfolk, Suffolk & Grafton) featuring many display throughout the day.
