The village of Knockbridge just outside Dundalk will be once again be taken over by the sights and sounds of a bygone era next month, as the annual Knockbridge Vintage Rally and Working Day returns on Sunday 10 September, starting at 11am.

Like every year, there will be lots to keep everyone entertained, be they young or old, and a very enjoyable family day out is guaranteed. There will be live entertainment throughout the day, including from country music sensation Johnny Brady and a drumming workshop with The Gathering Drum.

For young people, along with children's amusements, Circus250 will be there with the Amazing Flea Circus in a Suitcase. Witness feats of mind-boggling bravery and breath-taking beauty – acrobatics, trapeze, high wire and more! Be astounded by the world’s tiniest trained circus performers and their remarkable acts!

Other attractions include a Vintage Fashion Show which will feature some fabulous vintage pieces; a Flower Arranging Demonstration; trade stalls and a Dog Show which always attracts a large number of entrants.

The day will provide spectators with the opportunity to see how farming was in times gone by. Owners of vintage tractors, cars and bicycles will travel from far and wide to participate. Vintage tractors and machinery will be put through their paces in the live working field which promises to be a spectacular sight with a horse driven threshing mill, steam engines, vintage combine displays, potato planting, horse ploughing and vintage ploughing all taking place on the day.
