There's nothing better then seeing vintage tractors and machinery doing what they were intended for. At the West Oxon Steam & Vintage Show that's what we do best. The working arena has most things from thrashing to log sawing we like to try and show how things were done back in the good old days. Throughout the day there is always something going on. We like to keep busy so when you're on the rally field make sure you come and see us.
