Ferguson Tractor Day

Celebrate the heritage of the Ferguson Tractor on Saturday 27th June at the Ulster Folk Museum, with ploughing and cultivating demonstrations using vintage Ferguson tractors. 

Join us as we mark 90 years of the Ferguson Brown, 80 years of the T20, and 70 years of the Ferguson 35. 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. 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.
