Dorset Tractor Fest

Dorset Tractor Fest is a celebration of vintage and modern agricultural machinery, bringing together collectors, working farmers and curious visitors for a day of static displays, working demonstrations and good old-fashioned engine chat. Expect rows of beautifully restored classics alongside newer kit, plus the usual mix of trade stands, refreshments and family-friendly entertainment that make these shows such a popular fixture on the rural calendar.

It suits anyone with a soft spot for tractors and tradition, whether you're a lifelong enthusiast, a family looking for a good day out, or simply curious about the machinery that keeps the countryside running. Many visitors come year after year, often bumping into familiar faces from the local farming and vintage vehicle community.
