Yorkshire Air Ambulance is an independent charity providing a lifesaving rapid response emergency service to 5 million people across the whole of Yorkshire. To keep both of our Air Ambulances maintained and in the air, they need to raise £12,000 every single day, which is the equivalent of £4.4m a year. The Charity was set up in 2000 and with the addition of the second air ambulance in 2007, YAA now operate our own Dedicated Air Desk for rapid dispatch of their helicopters to an incident. The swift medical interventions provided by the air ambulance crews have a major impact on a patient’s chance of survival and subsequent quality of life. Huddersfield TractorFest is a proud supporter and fundraiser for Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

On The Edge motorcycle stunt team will be joining us this year at Huddersfield TractorFest, wowing the crowds with their entertaining and informative stunt show for all ages. The team are professionals who have competed at British, European, and World Championships for many years, and will be accompanied by their light-hearted commentary. As well as their obstacles, wall drops and stunts, there will also be the chance to get up close and personal with the team between shows.

The Tractor See Saw Challenge is an exhilarating and unique event that combines the rugged power of tractors with the childhood joy of a see-saw. This thrilling competition brings together teams of skilled tractor operators who showcase their precision, balance, and coordination on a specially designed see-saw platform. As the tractors drive onto opposite ends of the see-saw, their operators must carefully navigate the shifting weight and momentum to keep the see-saw balanced. The challenge intensifies as the see-saw platform rises and falls, requiring the drivers to adjust their tractor’s position in real-time. Spectators are left in awe as they witness the impressive display of skill and control demonstrated by the participants. The Tractor See Saw Challenge is a true test of strength, strategy, and teamwork, making it a must-see event for both tractor enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike.

The Dog Agility Display will be a captivating and exhilarating exhibition that showcases the incredible talents of canine athletes. In these displays, highly trained dogs, accompanied by their skilled handlers, navigate a series of obstacles with speed, precision, and agility. The obstacles include jumps, tunnels, weave poles, seesaws, and A-frames, among others. The dogs demonstrate their ability to swiftly maneuver through the course, displaying their athleticism and obedience while maintaining a strong bond with their handlers. The displays are not only a testament to the remarkable capabilities of these intelligent animals but also a celebration of the dedication and hard work put in by both the dogs and their trainers.

SMJ Falconry will be bringing their birds of prey for what’s guaranteed to be a memorable experience. They have a diverse collection of more than 50 birds of prey (including owls, falcons, hawks, kites, an eagle and vulture, and also a raven!) plus more than two decades of experience working with them. Their flying displays contain a variety of different birds of prey to provide an educational and entertaining show, plus they like to involve the audience in their demonstrations.

We will also be getting a VIP visit from Terry the Terrier, the beloved mascot of Huddersfield Town FC, is a true icon among football enthusiasts. With his boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm, Terry embodies the spirit and passion of the club’s loyal supporters. Beyond matchdays, Terry is actively involved in community outreach programs. He visits local schools, hospitals, and charity events, spreading joy and inspiration wherever he goes. With his friendly demeanour and approachability, Terry serves as a role model, encouraging young fans to embrace the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, and dedication.
