Truckfest drives into Lincoln for early May bank holiday

Car-crushing monster trucks, death-defying stunt shows, special celebrity guests, fantastic family entertainment, live music, delicious food and drink, a huge variety of trade stalls and so much more makes its way to Lincoln on Sunday 4th and Monday 5th May.

A fan favourite from last year’s show; the stars from TV’s Gladiators will be joining again! On Sunday meet Sheli McCoy and Matty Campbell as featured as ‘Sabre’ and ‘Bionic’ in ‘BBCs Gladiators’. Then Monday, don’t miss Emily Steel and Alex Gray as featured as ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Apollo’ in ‘BBCs Gladiators’.

With over 1,000 trucks already booked, this year’s show promises incredible trucks of all shapes and sizes including American rigs, customised trucks, emergency vehicles & vintage trucks.

Adrenaline-fueled action will be taking place across the entire weekend, from massive monster trucks crushing cars (and even some you can ride in!) to motorcycle stunt shows and family friendly wrestling.

Two incredible Optimus Prime trucks will also be at the event; an American 1986 Freightliner FLT80 Cabover, which has been fully restored and customised to look like the classic 80’s truck, as well as 2001 American Peterbilt 379 Transformer Truck, which appeared in the recent Transformer movies!

As well as all the live action, there will be amazing performances across the weekend from a diverse line-up of bands, including Definitely Oasis, widely recognized by Oasis fans around the world as the top Oasis tribute band.

Huge industry showcases are always at the heart of the show, bringing with them the newest models and exciting displays. Expect to see stands from DAF, Volvo and Scania to name a few. Browse a wide variety of trade stalls and pick up some trucking merch or try some culinary delights from one of the catering units.

For those wanting to experience everything the show has to offer, camping at Truckfest offers best value for money. Family passes for 2 adults and 2 children or for 3 adults are available, these include your pitch; vehicle pass and entry to the show for the entire weekend.

If you want to be a part of Europe’s biggest and best trucking show, make sure to head this May to the Lincolnshire Showground! Discounted advance tickets are available now on www.truckfest.co.uk.
