Tractor Fest is the UK’s largest vintage tractor & engine show. Each year the show attracts over 2,000 exhibits as well as in excess of 12,000 visitors. 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 1,000 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 2,000 exhibits from all corners of the United Kingdom & even further afield.
