The championships not only showcased competitive ploughing but also celebrated the heritage and evolution of farming techniques. Spectators enjoyed displays of horse ploughing, traditional high cut vintage ploughing, horticultural ploughing, and the impressive sight of giant steam ploughing engines. The static display of vintage tractors and equipment provided a nostalgic glimpse into agricultural history, while trade stands offered everything from farming tools to country attire.
Competitors from 12 countries, including England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark, and the Czech Republic, competed fiercely for the title of Champion of Europe. Each participant ploughed both days, with points accumulating to decide the champions in each discipline.
The presence of Tia Agri and Tanvic Tyres underscored the importance of reliable equipment in achieving success in the field.
