One of North Wales' longest-established vintage organisations is celebrating a major milestone this year as it marks its 50th anniversary.
Founded in 1976, Clwyd Veteran and Vintage Machinery Society has spent five decades preserving and promoting Britain's rich agricultural, engineering and transport heritage.
To mark the occasion the club is inviting visitors to its 2026 Annual Vintage Show taking place at Oswestry Showground this Saturday and Sunday, June 13 and 14.
The two-day event promises a fantastic family day out with a diverse range of exhibits including steam engines, vintage cars, tractors, motorcycles and much more.
Enthusiasts and families alike will have the opportunity to see an impressive collection of historic machinery and vehicles, celebrating the craftsmanship and innovation of generations past.
Visitors can also enjoy indoor craft stalls, outdoor trade stands, a model exhibition, activities for children and sheep dog trials. A variety of food and drink options will be available throughout the weekend, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Chairman Bernie Morris said: "Celebrating our 50th anniversary is a tremendous achievement for the society and a testament to the dedication of our members, exhibitors and supporters over the years. What started in 1976 as a group of enthusiasts sharing a passion for vintage machinery has grown into a thriving organisation that welcomes visitors from across North Wales, Mid Wales, Shropshire and beyond.
"Our annual show is a wonderful opportunity for families to enjoy a great day out while learning about the machinery, vehicles and engineering that helped shape our countryside and communities. We are looking forward to making this year's event one of our biggest and best yet."
Gates open at 10am on both days, with the first exhibits entering the main ring at 11am. The show runs until 5pm each day.
Admission is just £10 per person, with children under 16 admitted free when accompanied by an adult.
