Sat15Feb2025Sun16Feb202511 am to 3 pmThe Lambing Shed, Moseley Hall far, Chelford Road, Knutsford
The Lambing Shed Farm Shop and Kitchen is hosting the return of giant tractor and farm machinery weekend.
The most powerful machines in farming will be on display on Saturday and Sunday, February 15-16.
Admission is free though donations are welcome as the event is raising funds for North West Air Ambulance.
The Mitchell family opened The Lambing Shed at Moseley Hall Farm on Chelford Road in 2015 to showcase their award-winning home reared beef and lamb.
The menu at their cafe is based entirely around local, high-quality produce and the finest meat from their butchery.
A spokesman for the Lambing Shed said: “After the tremendous success of last year’s Big Machine Weekend, we’re thrilled to announce its return.
“This time, it’s bigger and better than ever.
“Join us for an unforgettable two-day event filled with jaw-dropping tractors and massive farm machinery.
“This is your chance to get close up and personal with the most powerful machines in farming.
“A stunning line-up of tractors and heavy duty equipment will leave you in awe.”
Families can snap a picture with these mighty machines.
Children can learn fascinating facts about each machine and there will be plenty of games to keep them entertained.
Burgers and hot dogs will be available from a food truck.
The café, housed in the building where farmer Arnold Mitchell and son Michael reared their sheep more than 60 years ago, will be open from 9am to 5.30pm.
The event will be held on one of the fields so wellies and waterproofs are advised in case it’s wet.
