The Cumbria Vintage Gathering is held each July at Cark Airfield near the Village of Flookburgh in southern Cumbria, England. The gathering is organised by the Cumbria Steam and Vintage Society and raises funds for the local charity organisations like the Air Ambulance and Bay Search and Rescue. The Event has been hosted for the last few years on the Cark Airfield site which provides a substantial area of hard standing for the steam and commercial vehicle exhibits and some of the Fair ground rides.
