Truckfest coming to Wolsingham showground this weekend

Truck lovers and petrol heads are in for a treat this weekend (June 1 and 2) at Wolsingham showground as Truckfest returns to the North East.

The family event sees trucks of all shapes and sizes on display at the ground with the chance of getting an inside look at some of the vehicles and finding out how they work.

From 9am to 5pm on both Saturday and Sunday, attendees have the chance to peruse and even purchase trucks at the event as well as see performances with monster trucks and stunt teams.

There is also the chance to stay over and camp to experience both days of the festival to make the most of the weekend - but day tickets start at £15 for adults and £6 for children.

Organisers say each year the event gets "bigger and bigger" - and this year the most trucks ever will be on display.

This is not the first time Truckfest has been to Wolsingham, and they are returning thanks to "big demand" from locals.

Truckfest also holds the same festival on Scotland, the Midlands, the South East and in Wales to name a few.
