June 2003
Bloxham steams in the sunshine

Funfair and event-goers

It's possible to get quite carried away at Bloxham's big steam fair

Bloxham Vintage Vehicle Rally and Country Fayre is one of the biggest events of its kind in Britain... and a great place to take photographs.

The event is run every June by Banbury Steam Society.
