In 1997 the old Chipping Village Hall was in desperate need of a replacement and the village had to start fundraising for a new build. A family fun day was organised with lots of different events taking place all around the village including street stalls and a car boot sale. Mary Harrison BEM came up with the idea of gathering together a few classic vehicles owned by some of the locals and congregating on the Talbot Public House car park. That first year there were only a handful of exhibitors such a sports car,  two vintage tractors, a stationary engine, one commercial vehicle and half a dozen old motorbikes. There were a few small stalls to accompany the vehicles such as a toy stall and a blacksmith with his anvil who offered to marry couples in exchange for a donation towards the village hall fund.

 Once a year, on the Spring Bank Holiday, Rolleston plays host to a fantastic array of vintage vehicles, bicycles, motorbikes, stalls, fairground rides and much, much more. These are displayed on the Croft, Burnside and surrounding areas in the village of Rolleston On Dove. The festival is organised by a dedicated team who give up their time to give something back to the community in which they live.  It is this dedication which has helped to raise vital money for local charities. Without the continued support from you, our visitors, we would not raise a single penny. So please support the festival and join us in May when Rolleston once again attracts polished chrome and bodywork for enthusiasts and the whole family to enjoy.

 The Vintage Nostalgia Festival is a hidden gem in the heart of the Wylye valley....."sssh don't tell everyone!"

"Our main ring show cases some great entertainment for all the family to include displays, entertainment and competitions. 2023 sees the return of the Bolddogs FMX display team to the main ring. We also have parades to include livestock, modern & vintage machinery and classic cars.

We always have a wide range of exhibitors. Each year we have a few of the following attend the show. From ferrets, hunt displays, bird of prey, sheep dog displays, sheep shearing, farrier and a mini zoo.

  A 2ft gauge railway 1½km in length. On open days two steam locomotives operate. Other locomotives, traction engines, rolling stock, beam engine, vintage cars and models.

 Woolpit Steam traces its roots back to the “Cotton Exhibition” which was held in the village of Cotton, Suffolk between 1975 and 1982, at which, many of the original Woolpit Steam committee had participated either as organisers, helpers, exhibitors or visitors. The first Woolpit Steam was held at Grange Farm, Woolpit in 1987, and in many ways captured the spirit of the small village rally of days gone by. By 1996, the show had outgrown its original site, and moved to Warren Farm, Wetherden.

Experience the smell of steam and excitement of raw steam power which helped to get Britain's haulage and agriculture where it is today.

A full day's entertainment will be available for everyone. In addition to the old engines and farm equipment there will be stalls, a fairground and refreshments including a licensed bar.
