SHORLANDSB401 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Sorry for the late post of this one but I only got confirmation of the dates last night and the organisers approval to post on here. The Yesteryear Festival is taking place on the weekend of the 10th / 11th September at Collop Gate Farm , Heywood near Bury, OL10 2PX. The festival is a charity event for Springfield Hospice but of more interest to us its also a "play day" event for military vehicles. The farm is owned by Melvin Cordwell and his son and all of their toys will be out playing on the huge fields plus anyone else that wishes to attend . Think of an "arena" big enough to get Centurion tanks travelling at full pelt and you get the idea. Always a good turn out of heavy armour. Centurions, Chieftains, Abbots, 432s, Antars, AVREs, etc etc Camping is available on site as are showers and toilets. The more military vehicles that attend the more public attend and so therefore the more for the hospice. If you search on the net for Yesteryear Festival Heywood you will get an idea of the stuff that turns up. The contact number I have listed is 01706 627888 Apparently the night time after public entertainment is great and especially the pies and peas LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
