In an age of high-speed everything, take some time out to enjoy a slower pace of life with the Biddenden Tractorfest and Country Fair.

The event this weekend will see some 100 tractors, vintage vehicles and cutting edge models on show over the two days.

But the heavyweight farm vehicles are only part of the story at the family-friendly show which attracted some 10,000 people last year.

Now in its fifth year, a special attraction this year will be that the Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance Trust is scheduled to have a helicopter there at both days.

Paraded in the tractor arena will be not only a large number of tractors but also horticultural machinery, miniature steam engines, and shire horses, and there will be a classic car arena for gleaming models to shine.

There will also be morris dancing, alpacas, archery, a circus workshop, face painting, a fairground organ and fun fair, plus a range of animals and upbeat entertainment from the Headcorn Ukulele Group and other ukulele musicians.

There will be a range of craft stalls and a display of beekeeping along with plenty of food to tempt visitors.

THE DETAILS

Tractorfest at Beech Lane Field, Beach Lane, Biddenden on Saturday, August 19 and Sunday, August 20 from 10am to 5pm. See tractorfest.co.uk for more information.
