1000 ENGINE RALLY 2023 Well its different it was cancelled in 2022 but lets hope it will return
Astle Park, Holmes Chapel Rd., Macclesfield, England SK11 9AD, United Kingdom
Well how do I describe this? It’s a collection of people who have preserved many different types of engine – some small and some massive. They get together in a field and run them. It also has a good turn out of stalls, steam engines, cars, bikes, tractors etc. It’s different and cheap, so why not give it a go?
The most unusual thing we have seen there.
