Following a successful event last year, Tractor and Digger Day, sponsored by Lloyd Ltd Bishop Auckland, returns to Darlington Market Square on Tuesday 28 May. New Holland tractors, construction machinery and smaller agricultural equipment will be arriving in the town from 11am and will be available to explore until around 3pm.

This family-friendly event will give your little ones the chance to get up close to some seriously big machinery and climb in the drivers seat to learn how they are operated. Ride-on pedal tractors will also be available to let them put their newfound skills to the test, as well as small play equipment and colouring-in activities.

Staff from Darlington Borough Council Children’s Service will also be on-hand to offer advice and guidance to anyone interested in becoming a foster carer.
