The UK’s largest tractor festival returns to North Yorkshire for its twentieth show in June.
Newby Hall and Gardens, near Ripon, will host Tractor Fest over the weekend of Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 June 2026.
More than 1,400 vintage and modern tractors and another 2,200 exhibits including stationary engines, commercial vehicles, cars, trucks and motorcycles will be on show across 120 acres of the Newby estate.
Themes for this year’s Tractor Fest include Made in Scotland, showcasing tractors, engines and machines manufactured in that country, motor rollers and the Zetor tractor brand.
There will be a spotlight on road and sports ground motor rollers at the show. Exhibits will include one of only three remaining 1932 14 tonne Aveling and Porter rollers, and a Wallis & Steevens 1944 roller, which is being exhibited for the first time ever at the show
Tractor Fest will also see a celebration of the Czech agricultural tractor and components manufacturer Zetor on its 80th anniversary. Zetor was the first manufacturer to develop and produce tractor cabins with rollover protection and reduced in-cabin noise levels. These innovations saw the Zetor brand gain international recognition. Among the exhibits at the show will be a Zetor tractor which featured as Joe Sugden’s (Frazer Hines) tractor on Emmerdale.
Tractor Fest is organised by the Yorkshire Vintage Association (YVA). Kevin Watson, chair of the YVA, said:
“We are very proud to partner with Newby on our show which, from small beginnings 20 years ago, has grown to become the biggest and most spectacular celebration of tractors and engines in the country.
"There really is something for all the family – from thousands of cherished Tractor Fest exhibits to Newby’s adventure playground and award-winning gardens.”
A host of entertainment, crafts, food and drink will be on offer at the show and admission includes access to Newby’s RHS Chelsea gold medal winning gardens, adventure playground, dolls house and teddy bear exhibitions.
Tractor Fest is sponsored by Europe’s leading agricultural and machinery auctioneer Cheffins, Econ Engineering, P.V.Brockhills, nci insurance services and Friends of Ferguson Heritage. The show is also supported by Ripon Farm Services and the National Vintage Tractor & Engine Club.
Cheffins chairman Bill King said:
“Tractor Fest is one of the most impressive tractor shows in the country.
"As a proud partner of many years standing, it is a show we all look forward to attending and we can’t wait to welcome enthusiasts and visitors to another record-breaking tractor weekend at Newby.”
