Arena displays
Biddenden Tractorfest features three arenas, each hosting a full programme of vehicle displays, demonstrations and family entertainment.
In the Tractor Field Arena, enjoy parades from our tractor, horticulture and steam sections, along with the ever‑popular “Emergency Services at Work” display. You’ll hear the unmistakable whistle of the steam engines as they come together throughout the day, and each afternoon ends with a spectacular tractor parade featuring more than 150 tractors lining up together — an unforgettable sight and sound.
The Emergency Services and Car Arena showcases a wide variety of vehicle parades, including classic cars, classic motorcycles, military vehicles, emergency services, commercial vehicles, and the energetic “It’s a Knockout! Fire” demonstration. Don’t miss the unmistakable sound of the fire engines coming together for the siren salute!
The Animal Arena offers a packed schedule of engaging displays and demonstrations. Tractorfest favourites Cwnsaethu Dog Behaviour & Training and The Kent Falconry Centre return with their brilliant displays. Mount Lodge YFC and Ashford YFC will be showing their sheep each day and inviting members of the public to join them in the ring to meet the animals.
Biddenden’s very own TaDah! Theatre Company will be performing short plays in the Animal Arena each day. Join Captain Lon John Plastic Fantastic and his motley crew in the quest to find buried treasure. Witness unbelievable feats of strength by Biddenden’s strongest men and women and watch acrobats, juggling, escapology and sword swallowing before your very eyes.
New for 2026, Brooks Dance Academy from Tenterden will be joining us on Saturday in the Animal Arena. Students ranging from 4-17 years old will perform a range of dances including a hoedown, a dance from their modern class students, a street dance performance and a ballet dance performance.
For full details and timings across all arenas, please see the timetable in the programme or the signs at each arena.
