Since the inaugural Euston Rural Pastimes Event in June 1991 the annual celebration of all countryside activities new and old, the sum of £626,000 has been raised and distributed to local charities including St Nicholas Hospice, The East Anglian Air Ambulance and Churches of the Blackbourne team. A very generous legacy is part of this total.

Held in the wonderful surroundings of Euston Park, with tremendous support from the owners and staff of Euston Estate, the event was entirely run by a team of volunteers, keen to work as part of a team to raise money for charity by attracting large crowds of the public to see the ring events, classic cars, tractors, steam and stationary engines, along with trade stands, craft stalls, Church flower festival and heavy horse show among the many attractions. Many families came year after year, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere.

The various organisers over the years of the event would like to thank everyone that has been involved, whether as exhibitor, stall holder, helper or by attending for helping to make the event what it was.

Since having to cancel the 2020 event owing to the Covid 19 pandemic, the 2021, 2022 and 2023 events were held on a much reduced scale, still raising significant sums of money.

It has been decided, as the time comes for all good things to end, this event is no different, and we can finish on a high, with many wonderful memories and thanks to everyone involved over the years for a superb job done.
