The shows website is http://ravfair.co.uk/index.html The steam and Vintage section is organized by James P Brett, you can contact him on here or by email jamespeterbrett@hotmail.co.uk or phone on 01508 528285 The Fair was started in 1976 as the Raveningham Threshing Fair (see photos below) and its purpose was to raise funds for the Raveningham Group of Churches. The centre point of every fair was the steam engine and threshing machine; other rural crafts and displays where also shown, including cutting the straw with a old binder, old tractors and stationary engines. After the 25th year the name was changed to encompass the evolving face of the event, and it is now the Raveningham Country Fair (though still referred to by many affectionately as the threshing fair). The Fair still raises money for the Raveningham Group of Churches as well as a number of local charities and good causes. 2013 will be the 37th year a fair has been held in Raveningham and it is becoming one of the longest established events on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. The Fair takes place on the first Saturday after the August Bank Holiday in the Raveningham area. We are kindly offered the use of a stubble field by a local farmer or Sir Nicholas Bacon at Raveningham Hall. There are over 100 exhibits including working displays of threshing wood sawing and chaff cutting - all by steam, full size and miniature steam engines, stationary barn engines, vintage tractors and classic cars, which attract many enthusiasts from all over east Anglia, both as exhibitors and as spectators. OTHER ATTRACTIONS INC Waveney Model Flying Club We will have a spectacular display of flying and static models, including the option to have a go yourself on a flight simulator. Owls and Birds of Prey On site all day you'll be able to see a selection of owls from the small Little Owl to his frankly huge cousin the Eagle Owl.
