There was a 1936 Diamond T Truck on a weighing platform, which enabled volunteers to show visitors how the mechanical weighbridge measured vehicles' weight.

Lin Dalton, from the museum, said: "The weather was mixed in the morning, but it did get better in the afternoon. We did have a good turn out and people were able to sit outside and wander around."

Entry to the event was free, with refreshments on offer in the marque.
