IT is known as the UK’s largest tractor festival – and after a two-year break the popular North Yorkshire event returned bigger than ever before.
Held at Newby Hall, Ripon over the Bank Holiday Jubilee weekend in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, thousands flocked to its first day on Friday.
The festival attracts more than 12,000 visitors and 1,500 exhibits including vintage tractors and modern marques, stationary engines, commercial vehicles, cars, lorries and motorcycles.
This year’s extended three-day festival features a display of 70-year-old Jubilee and Coronation vintage tractors, along with a display of 100 pre-1922 vintage tractors and 100 century-old stationary engines, displays from specialist marque clubs and working vintage machinery and engines including a celebration of 100 years of the Auston 7 first produced in 1922.
A host of entertainment, crafts, food and drink are also on hand to make Tractor Fest a great family day out.
Fun activities include mini tractor driving, face painting, colouring, interactive exhibits and working machinery.
