UK Tractor Shows 2026 & 2027

Next up: Biddenden Tractorfest and Country Fair — Sat 15 – Sun 16 Aug 2026, Kent.

Tractor shows are the one part of this world that never really stops. When the outdoor season ends, the indoor winter shows take over: the Somerset Vintage and Classic Tractor Show at the Royal Bath and West Showground on 30 and 31 January (around 200 tractors from the early 1920s onwards, adults £12), then the Tractor World Show at Malvern in late February, the largest and longest running indoor tractor show in the UK. The Classic Truck and Tractor Fests in Edinburgh, Norwich and Stafford carry the indoor format into March and April.

Summer belongs to Tractor Fest at Newby Hall near Ripon in early June, the UK's largest vintage tractor show, with recent years topping 1,400 tractors plus another 2,000 exhibits of stationary engines, commercials and cars in the hall gardens. Biddenden Tractorfest in Kent each mid August fields around 300 machines with working demonstrations. The season then closes in style at the Newark Vintage Tractor and Heritage Show on 7 and 8 November 2026: up to 1,000 exhibits across 49 classes, a themed celebration (2026 is All Things Ferguson), a specialist vintage tractor auction and the Sunday Sort Out autojumble.

What you actually get at a good tractor show is the people as much as the iron. Club stands full of restoration stories, trade rows selling spares, manuals and models, and more grey Fergusons than seems statistically possible. Bring cash for the autojumble, that world still runs on notes. Everything listed here is checked weekly, searchable by postcode, and the Thursday Weekly Runsheet will tell you what is on within driving distance.

Tractor Shows: your questions answered

What is the biggest tractor show in the UK?

Tractor Fest at Newby Hall near Ripon, run by the Yorkshire Vintage Association each early June. Recent shows have featured more than 1,400 tractors plus over 2,000 further exhibits including stationary engines, commercial vehicles, cars and motorcycles.

Are there tractor shows in winter?

Yes, the indoor shows fill the cold months. The Somerset Vintage and Classic Tractor Show runs at the Royal Bath and West Showground, Shepton Mallet, on 30 and 31 January, and the Tractor World Show at Malvern in late February is the UK's largest indoor tractor show.

When is the Newark Vintage Tractor and Heritage Show?

7 and 8 November 2026 at Newark Showground, Winthorpe. Up to 1,000 exhibits across 49 classes, with a 2026 theme of All Things Ferguson, a Brown and Co vintage tractor auction and the Sunday Sort Out autojumble.

How much does a tractor show cost?

Most sit between £5 and £15 per adult. The Somerset Vintage and Classic Tractor Show charges adults £12, OAPs £10 and children £5. Parking is normally free at showground events.

Can I buy tractor parts at a show?

Yes. The bigger shows have substantial trade areas for spares, tyres, books and models, and autojumbles like Newark's Sunday Sort Out are good hunting for obsolete parts. Many autojumble traders prefer cash.
