Tractor Fest 2023

Tractor Fest is the UK’s largest vintage tractor and engine show. Each year the show attracts over 1600 exhibits as well as in excess of 12,000 visitors. Held in the grounds of Newby Hall, visitors to the show also get access to the award winning gardens and other attractions at this award winning country estate. Tractor Fest is organised by the Yorkshire Vintage Association, in conjunction with Newby Hall & Gardens. This unique partnership allows us to put on an event which occupies approximately 120 acres and features over 1000 tractors on display. The first event at Newby Hall was held in 2007 when we had some 360 exhibits entered. It has grown year on year since then and now attracts over 1600 exhibits from all corners of the United Kingdom & even further afield.

For 2023 there will be three special features:

• The tractor section will feature a display celebrating 100 years of the John Deere Model D, as well as Perkins engine powered tractors.
• The Stationary engine display will feature Factory portable engines. This will encompass engines still on their original trollies, varying in size from the humble Lister D, to the giant early portable oil engines.
• Our vintage vehicle section is growing year on year and for 2023 we are celebrating 100 years of MG.
