VIDEO: Autumn Countryside Show at open air museum
Taking place on Saturday and Sunday, the show featured more than 30 heavy horses, ploughing the fields alongside vintage tractors to prepare the ground for sowing the Singleton museum's crops.
The popular seasonal show featured a whole host of traditional rural and craft demonstrations, including the steam-powered threshing of the wheat crop, horticultural show, fun dog show, falconry and gun dog displays, besom broom making, hurdle and spar making competitions and Sussex trug making.
