🍩 A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO PIPP & CO! 🍩

Our volunteers worked their socks off over the weekend at the Gloucestershire Vintage & Country Extravaganza, so it was only right that they were kept fuelled with something a little sweeter! 😋

A huge thank you to Pipp & Co Doughnuts for supplying our fantastic volunteers with their delicious goodies throughout the weekend. 🍩❤️

Let’s be honest… there’s not much that can’t be achieved with a cup of tea and a box of doughnuts! 😂☕🍩

Your generosity was hugely appreciated by the team, and those doughnuts certainly helped keep the wheels turning! 🚜💨

From all of us here at the Gloucestershire Vintage & Country Extravaganza — THANK YOU! 👏

🚂 THE LAST ONE OUT, PLEASE TURN OFF THE LIGHTS! 😂

It might be a week since the Gloucestershire Vintage & Country Extravaganza, but the very last steam engine has only just chuffed its way out of the field at South Cerney! 🚂💨

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who made last weekend so brilliant — our exhibitors, traders, clubs, volunteers, stewards, contractors, entertainers and, of course, the thousands of visitors who came through the gates.

You brought the field to life, made the weekend what it was and gave us plenty of memories (and probably a few headaches along the way! 😉).

Now the engines are heading home, the fields are getting quieter and South Cerney is finally getting some peace and quiet…

Well, until we start planning 2027! 👀😂

THANK YOU EVERYONE — YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! ❤️

See you next year! 🚜🚂🇬🇧

🚜💨 IT'S HAPPENING... THEY'RE COMING FROM EVERY DIRECTION! 💨🚜

Steam engines are rolling in, classic cars are gleaming in the sunshine, tractors are finding their spots, tents are mysteriously refusing to go up straight, and there's already been at least one person asking... "Has anyone got a hammer?" 🔨🤣

Every hour the field is looking more and more spectacular as hundreds of exhibitors arrive to transform an empty showground into the Gloucestershire Vintage & Country Extravaganza.

By tomorrow, this place will be buzzing with steam, engines, laughter and thousands of visitors enjoying one of the biggest weekends of the year.

If you're on your way, travel safely. If you're visiting tomorrow... get ready, because you're in for a cracking day!

Now, who's forgotten the tent pegs this year? Be honest... 👀😂
