Well all back at home now After a smashing weekend, we had a gigantic turnout of exhibits of over 263 exhibits to mark the 25th anniversary of the VHGMC !!! Great to see new exhibitors , some new to tractorfest and some first time exhibitors, and of course our regular exhibitors from as far as Belgium, Cumbria, stoke on Trent Norfolk, and devon all adding to the count . 38 entries to the arena with a children's special. I would like to thank all exhibitors who attended as this would be impossible to acheive with out your efforts. I would like to give an extra thanks to Phil Murrell who managed to bring 85 Exhibits from his collection. A special thanks to Ethan Castle for setting up the howard theme that had a quite impressive line up. Tomorrow is the start of planning towards next year event which will feature dashwood/landmaster for th 17th and 18th of August 2019.
Once again many thanks to all for your support in making biddenden tractorfest the great show that it is, hope to see you all next year

Kev, Will there be an area where we can drive around but not 'work'the area? I know we can drive into the arena but is there a play area so to speak? Thanks
To all those who are exhibiting horticultural equipment
Just to let you know that unfortunately due to the type of ground on site we will not be having a working area anymore. On the plus side you can relax. Many thanks for your support
Hi all, we currently have 150 machines booked in for tractorfest, looking like another great line up, looking for more howard machines, so if you have one and would like to exhibit please drop me a line and we can get some forms out to you
Hi all, i know biddenden tractorfest ended just a few days ago but we have to start early on next year
Next years theme is howard machinery and its connecting manufacturers, its also the 25th anniversary of the vhgmc. So if you have a howard, clifford, dowdeswell or bolens then please contact me if you can attend. As always other manufacturers are also most welcome. Biddenden tractorfest will be held on the 18th and 19th august 2018, many thanks
Ethan Castle and myself would like to thank all that attended tractorfest over the weekend for your support, in fact we had bucket loads of support from everyone, wether you run around a field with an orange ice cream, or orange tabbard, or helped lay out the wonderful display items that you all took along. But out of all the support we had, by far the best bit was everyone had a smiles and laughs. In total we had 118 individual exhibits as well as the gazebo and caravan displays which is the highest yet for btf. Hope you can all make it again next year. Oh and a special sorry and thanks to Lisa Castle who has to put up with ethan and i all year round with tf talk. Again many thanks to all of you
Just to let you know that entries are now closed for the horticultural section as our camping area is now full. Big big thanks to all that have entered ( almost 100 exhibits)
Sorry to those that wanted to but have not yet entered.
hi all , just a reminder that 2017 biddenden Tractorfest is the 19/20th august, with a southeast wheel horse roundup ( around 20 so far) and a ransomes theme, and other manufacturers, so far around 70 entries with plenty of room for more so if you have not yet entered and would like to then please pm me, many thanks
hi all firstly i would like to give a big thanks to you for supporting tractorfest last year, it was a great success with 10.000 visitors and we had wonderful feedback on the horticultural display which is all down to your great support. this years event will be held on 19th and 20th of august 2017 and again we will be having a horticultural display theme. this years theme will be anything ransomes, from push mowers to crawlers.so if you have any ransomes equipment please do enter it this year.
there will also a wheelhorse roundup which has not been done in the south east since 2013 so again please do enter your wheelhorse if you have one.
as usual any other horticultural machinery and equipment is also welcome and is in my view equally important as the theme , please feel free to pm me if you have any questions
again many thanks for your continued support

yes this is still going ahead, what's Harrys age as it was raised at a meeting that all ride ON's fall under the road traffic act so as well as the correct insurance all exhibitors will need to have a the correct licence for their ride on
hi all.
