Border Counties Steam and Vintage Show

@ Vauxhall Fields Open Air

This show is an event for all the family; sideshows and entertainers keep the younger members happy, while the enthusiasts find plenty to see. The show is over two days.

Past shows have included cars from the 1920s up to the 1970s, vintage and classic motor cycles, a huge selection of commercial vehicles, steam and traction engines, as well as tractors and military vehicles.

What happened in 2011? Once again it was a successful show attracting thousands of visitors throughout the day to enjoy a huge variety of classic cars, steam engines, tractors, military vehicles, motorbikes and more. The arena was main stage for various parades and displays, and stalls and activities kept everyone amused throughout.

How did it all start? Border Counties Vintage Club was 32 years old in 2010. It all started when a small band of enthusiasts met at the Crown Hotel, Whitchurch to form a vintage club to foster interest in vintage vehicles and machinery.

In the early years the shows were held at fields in Whitchurch until more space was needed and it moved to Speech House, Forest of Dean. For the 30th Anniversary show in 2005, the club realised that once again it would need a larger venue, which is when it relocated to it's current home at Vauxhall Fields Monmouth.

2010 Show was held on Sat 1st Sun 2nd May Vauxhall Fields Monmouth.
