Entries and ticket sales are now open for the Newark Vintage Tractor & Heritage Show, which will take place on the 8th and 9th of November at Newark Showground.
“What makes our show so special is its sheer diversity,” says Simon Eccleston, CEO of the Newark & Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society (NNAS), which organises the event.
“You’ll see century-old engineering icons alongside post-war workhorses and commercial vehicles that shaped modern farming and haulage. Whether you’re a seasoned exhibitor or just curious, there’s always something new to discover — and plenty of friendly experts who are happy to share their knowledge.”
Major anniversaries
Several milestones will be celebrated at the event, including 100 years of Caterpillar; 80 years of the Field Marshall Series One; 80 years since the launch of the Fordson Major E27N; 60 years of Zetor imports into the UK; 60 years of Cummins engines and a celebration of Gardner engines.
Other areas will focus on potato implements and handling equipment, as well as Ransomes and Sims & Jeffries, both coming out of the Orwell Works in Ipswich.
“Our themed displays are more than a line-up of machines — they’re stories,” adds Simon. “Each tractor, engine or implement represents people: the farmers who relied on it, the engineers who built it, and the communities that still rally to preserve it. That human connection is what keeps exhibitors coming back year after year.”
The event regularly sees more than 10,000 visitors and more than 1,000 exhibitors, eager to present restorations, share skills and take part in the 49 competition classes.
