BIDDENDEN TRACTORFEST & COUNTRY FAIR // 18-19 AUG
The 2018 Biddenden
Tractorfest and Country
Fair will have more of
what visitors have come
to enjoy and expect.
Tractorfest is so popular
because it offers a
wonderfully old-
fashioned and
inexpensive day out for
the whole family. In
2018, the show moves
to fields beside
Woolpack Corner, just
outside Biddenden on the road to Tenterden. There will be more space
for parking and a larger and improved layout for the activity arenas,
vehicle displays, craft and food stalls, and catering outlets. Tractors from
many decades are popular with visitors young and old and adding to
the nostalgic atmosphere are classic cars, commercial vehicles and
motorcycles, stationary engines and horticultural machines. Tractorfest
is organised by the Biddenden Entertainment and Social Team (BEST)
volunteers. The 2017 show was attended by a record 11,500 visitors and
raised £24,500 for charities and organisations, many of them local.
