This is a Vintage Sortout to meets all the requests for a Sortout location nearer the Severn Bridge. High fuel prices have certainly justified our decision to move Old Sodbury’s Sortouts away from Newbury. Instead we can offer you a choice of venues around the country. In each case to help justify your trip there is another show to take in nearby. Tortworth is 70 miles west of Newbury Showground making it ideally placed for visitors from the West Country South Wales and the Midlands to meet. The entrance is about 4 miles from Junction 14 of the M5. Although not clear on the map the Mortorway exit is at FALFIELD ..
This Sortout adjoins The Tortworth Vintage Transport Show which has most of the features you enjoy at a rally. Once set up, you will find you are right next door to this busy and popular show where Sortout Buyers will be parking. From Junction 14 M5 follow the signs for “Tortworth Vintage Transport Show” Sellers enter via Exhibitors Entrance
Recommended Satnav code for this Old Sodbury’s Sortout is GL12 8LJ
If you want to make a real weekend of Vintage the Welland Steam Rally opens on Friday 23rd so you could fit in a couple of days at Welland as well taking in the Sortout and Tortworth on the Sunday . This could appeal particularly to visitors coming from the South West and South Wales.
The Sortout Selling Area is a grass field next to a quarry. Bring sensible clothing in case of wind, rain, or chill. Buyers of big or heavy items can tranship them on to their vehicles by arrangement after 3.30 pm.
Many Show spectators will visit the Sortout which is why we have widened the definition of “Agricultural Vintage” to give you more choice in what to bring. Mostly bring what people expect to find at a Vintage Sortout.

(Previous Sellers know the reputation of Old Sodbury’s Sortouts attract specialist Buyers hoping to find the most unlikely items.)
