Haxey Library was open all day especially for the event and there were two NAAFI Cafés.

A vintage fair had clothing, knitting, bags and bric-a-brac; vintage vehicles; the chance to have your hair styled by a vintage hairdresser; and have your photo taken in your glad rags in the camera club photo booth.

Sandtoft Trolleybus Museum ran vintage buses all day between Westwoodside, Haxey and Sandtoft.

And not only that, there were free dance lessons in quickstep, waltz and foxtrot.
