Last year’s rally which was one of the biggest in the County including a terrific range of vintage cars and tractors, as well as a few modern tractors. Entry fee per vehicle is €20 with all funding going directly to the upkeep of the community museum, which, like many other attractions, had suffered a loss of income, after being closed because of Covid for 5 months last year and 4.5, this year!
