Set in the beautiful grounds of Newby Hall in Ripon, North Yorkshire, Tractor Fest is a huge gathering of tractor enthusiasts, a wide array of engines and various stalls selling tractor related goodies.
When we heard about Tractor Fest at Newby Hall I knew we had to visit. The little man is completely obsessed with tackata’s (tractors to you and me). In fact, anything he sees that has wheels is a tractor in his mind.
Tickets cost £10 for hubby and I and the little man was free as he was under 4.
As well as various tractors there were also engine exhibitions. They were extremely noisy and not really my thing but the little man and Hubby were very impressed. 
The little man, despite this ridiculously miserable face loved Tractor Fest, he ran round gawping and shouting at all the tractors and completely wore himself out. 
There was literally every kind of tractor you could imagine, big ones, small ones, enormous ones, silver ones, black ones, literally every kind you can think of. I hadn’t realised tractors came in so many different shapes and sizes. 
The £10 also included entry into the grounds of Newby Hall but not the hall itself. As it was warm and sunny we were happy enough with just the gardens and weren’t fussed that we couldn’t go inside.
The gardens are really beautiful and despite the fact it was a busy day we were able to wander round without constantly bumping into people. We were able to roam round the lush green gardens, looking at the pretty flowers and listening to the birds sing, it was a lovely peaceful day.
Gorgeous photos – my children would have loved this too – esp my vehicle-mad four year old.
Beautiful photo's, I particularly love the close up of your little boy's hand, I love little hands they're just the cutest. Newby Hall is impressive, looks like you had a lovely afternoon

I am married to a Farmer and he would have been drooling to be there. The photos you have taken are so clear and beautiful!x The photo of your little boy with the tractor is so cutexx
Oh my gosh! Your pictures are amazing! Especially the ones with movement! May I ask what camera do you use?
You little boy looks like he was having the time of his life! 😀
Thank you 🙂 I just use a Nikon D3100 with very little editing, I really need to learn to edit properly x
As the other commenters have already said, your photos are totally stunning & your little angel is adorable too! My neighbour has a big ol' red vintage tractor & attends lots of rallys down here in Cornwall, it must be a lovely pastime both exhibiting and going along to these rural Country gatherings.
Such lovely photos looks like such a lovely day and the sort of thing for when my little boy is older.
What lovely photo's, my little two would have loved this too. That mini train looks like lots of fun xx
Looks like such a fab day out! xx
You captured some lovely photos of your day. It looks like a really great day out. x
