There is something for everyone at the Clonbullogue Horse and Steam Threshing.
This is the second year that the village of Clonbullogue in County Offaly has held a field day, organised by the local development association.
Demonstrations of traditional farming practices, vintage cars, a dog show and a funfair are just some of the attractions drawing large crowds to the Clonbullogue Horse and Steam Threshing.
Pride of place is reserved for a steam powered threshing engine, which in its day was the last word in technical innovation and efficiency.
