They’ve got the X-tractor!

-

More than 10,000 headed to Biddenden at the weekend to enjoy the Tractorfes­t and Country Fair.

The hugely popular event, held in Beech Lane Field, is in its fourth year and featured more than 100 tractors and vintage vehicles.

But the heavyweigh­t farm vehicles are only part of the story at this family-friendly show, which also featured birds of prey, alpacas, morris dancing, miniature steam engines, craft stalls, shire horses, clay shooting and archery.

Nick Marshall, of the organising committee, said: “It went extremely well. People loved the feeling of stepping back into a bygone era.

“Everybody had a good day out. People came from all the surroundin­g villages and further afield as well.

“It started as a small event four years ago but it’s turned into a success.”

The fair is run by volunteers and proceeds are donated to local charities and groups.
