Festival of Transport.
Now in its fourth year, it is once again being held over the May bank holiday weekend. It's running from Saturday 24th until Monday 26th at Whites Nurseries, which lies just off junction 10 of the A45 between Wellingborough and Northampton (NN6 0EP) . The festival is a celebration of all motorised transport , regardless of age, to show the huge diver sity and evolution of vehicles through the ages.
The third Earls Barton Fire and Rescue Show runs alongside the festival , and has a wide range of fire fighting vehicles . There will be displays of vehicle passenger rescue, fire hazards
