Event - Vintage Tractor Show (Newark)

The 2011 – and 9th – Newark Vintage Tractor and Heritage Show is gearing up for the 'not to be missed', end of season event, which takes place on Saturday and Sunday 12 – 13 November.

Centre-piece of the show this year will be John Deere and Lanz tractors – both having a long standing reputation for reliability and durability in the farming sector. Previous years have provided some fantastic displays and the show’s organisers are planning to continue this in our 180m long feature marquee.

Traditionally coinciding with Remembrance Sunday (on 13 November this year), the show will hold its popular service in the George Stephenson Exhibition Hall to remember the fallen and wounded of past and current conflicts. This will be followed by the presentation of the vast array of silverware and the presentation of the coveted 4 Shows Ploughing Trophy.

Maintaining links with the armed forces, the show’s organisers are planning to expand on the success of its display of military vehicles, while the heritage aspect will be embraced by Land Rovers, commercial vehicles and the Native & Rare Breeds Exhibition, now in its fourth year.

All this, plus the Auction of tractors and parts (Saturday), Old Sodbury’s Sort-Out (Sunday), trade stands, hot and cold food (ranging from breakfast to evening carvery) each day and on-site camping facilities the Newark Vintage Tractor & Heritage Show really is ‘THE End-of-Season Show’ to attend.
