Ferguson Tractor Day
Description
Celebrate the heritage of the Ferguson Tractor on Saturday 28th June at the Ulster Folk Museum, with ploughing and cultivating demonstrations using vintage Ferguson tractors.
Watch a ‘concours d'elegance’, featuring a convoy of prized and rare Ferguson Tractors as they make their way throughout the Folk Museum to the sounds of the Harry Ferguson pipe band (who will be unveiling a new drum this year at this event). There'll also be traditional music, craft demonstrations and more!
Henry George “Harry” Ferguson was a pioneer in engineering. He was born locally in County Down and is celebrated as a great innovator, having played a major role in the mechanical implementation of farming and agriculture on an international scale.
Our Ballycultra Tearooms will be open for a selection of delicious hot food items and sweet treats. Please feel free to bring along picnics and snacks which can be eaten in our outdoor picnic areas.
