Organisers are hoping to raise between five and ten thousand pounds from the event, hoping to surpass last year's visitor numbers over 2,700.

Andrew Panton, Event Organiser said: "There are lots of things for people to see with a chance to look in the Lancaster cockpit and a great flying display.

"With trade stands, re-enactments and classic cars on display it is an ideal family day out."

Gates open at 10am providing chance to look around the classic cars, historic re-enactments and stands before the flying display starts at 1:30pm.
