There will also be a collection of scale steam engines on display and demonstrations in the show ring and during the event vehicles will be parked up in an area for the public to view more closely giving visitors the chance to examine them and talk to the owners. 

A popular traction engine appearing at this year's show is Faith owned by Natal Taylor. It was built in 1916 and found in Lavenham where it had fallen into decay before Mr Taylor restored it. 

Josh Forward, of Stonham Barns Park, said: "There's nothing like a steam show to bring in the crowds and we are planning for a special show this year introducing more vintage elements than ever before. 

"The rural content of the show will be enhanced this year as our tractor exhibits and country pursuits draw more and more followers each year.

"The vehicles from our past can teach us so much. It will be like a step back and who doesn't love to witness something retro occasionally?"

The Steam and Vintage show will take place at Stonham Barns Park on Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19.

Tickets for the event are £10 per adult and dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads.
