MEMBERS of the Eden Classic Vehicle Group are busy making the final preparations for the fifth Easter rally at various sites in Kirkby Stephen and Brough.
Last year's event was huge with more than 200 exhibits.
This year the gathering at the Grand Prix site in Brough will be bigger than ever. And Brough Farmers' Market is staying open until 3.30pm on the Saturday to offer even more attractions for visitors to the town.
A craft fair will also be held on Easter Sunday in Brough Memorial Hall.
In Kirkby Stephen the main site for vehicles will be the Auction Mart and Market Square.
A free bus service is being provided by Cumbria Classic Coaches between the two towns.
Secretary of the Eden Classic Vehicle Group Will Hamer
said: "The categories this year are public service vehicles, commercial vehicles, vans, military vehicles, fire appliances, tractors, stationary engines and related stalls.
"Last year we had some specials like traditional fairground equipment, circus and Meccano models and displays. There were also the lovely old bikes, penny farthings and boneshakers being pedalled around. "
The Kirkby Stephen Classic Commercial Vehicle Rally will be held on Easter Saturday and Sunday, April 19 and 20.
