The popular Newark Vintage Tractor and Heritage Show is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year with many traditional attractions and some new ones, including a new vintage plant class featuring diggers, bulldozers and more.
Attracting more than 1,000 vintage tractors, implements and commercial vehicles from across the UK, the event is the climax of the show season.
The organisers are particularly targeting exhibitors who came to the first Newark Vintage and Heritage Show 20 years ago. “It is an opportunity to gather, reminisce about previous shows and celebrate the show’s success over the years,” says events and development manager Elizabeth Halsall.
The event is also celebrating the centenary of the row crop tractor, including the iconic Farmall model, introduced in 1923 as the all-purpose tractor aimed at revolutionising farming.
ERF Trucks and Atkinson Trucks will be celebrating their 90th anniversaries.
