Visitors, exhibitors and club stands invited to secure their place at November’s landmark heritage event

The Newark Vintage Tractor and Heritage Show has officially launched for 2026, with day and weekend tickets now on sale.

Exhibitor entries are open across all classes, and club stand bookings available for this November’s event.

Taking place on 7-8 November at Newark Showground, the show brings together one of the most diverse collections of working heritage machinery to be found anywhere in the country, drawing exhibitors and visitors from across the UK and beyond.

Much more than a tractor show, the event encompasses 49 classes spanning the full breadth of agricultural and industrial heritage.  

Exhibits include tractors, plant, commercials, horticulture, stationary engines and implements, with expert judges travelling from across the country to award prizes to the best on show. The variety on display is one of the event’s enduring strengths, with each year bringing fresh exhibits to the showground.

A packed weekend schedule

Across the two days, visitors are offered an exceptional programme of events and attractions. The specialist vintage tractor and machinery auction run by Brown & Co gets under way from 10am on Saturday, with last year’s sale attracting more than 450 lots across an impressive range of vehicles, implements and memorabilia.

The popular Sunday Sort Out has become a firm favourite with visitors looking for parts, spares and the occasional hidden gem, combining the spirit of an autojumble with the Show’s characteristic warmth and enthusiasm.

Tractor and trailer rides provide a hands-on element for all ages throughout the weekend, and the formal awards ceremony on Saturday evening brings the first day to a memorable close, with the best exhibits across all classes formally recognised.

A gathering of enthusiasts

Roger Jackson, the show’s Chairman, said: “The event is as much about the conversations and shared passion as it is about the machines on display. The sense of community that builds over the two days is one of its defining qualities, and public camping is available throughout the weekend for those who want to make the most of it.

“Clubs are a vital part of that atmosphere, bringing some of the most eye-catching and carefully curated group displays to the showground.”

Club stand applications are now open, and organisations are encouraged to register early to secure their place before entries close on 20 August.

2026 landmark anniversaries

There are a remarkable series of milestone anniversaries giving the 2026 event an exceptional range of celebration themes.

One of the headlines is ‘All Things Ferguson’, an umbrella celebration marking six major anniversaries in the Ferguson and Massey Ferguson story, spanning from the Ferguson Model A in 1936 through to the Massey Ferguson 3000 Series in 1986.

Further celebration themes include the iconic Q cab, a centenary for the Lister D stationary engine, a 60-year milestone for John Deere’s UK and Ireland operation in Nottinghamshire, the 30th anniversary of the Fordson 500 celebration, the 70th anniversary of the McCormick International B250, and a celebration of drainage machinery.
