Wolsingham Show

The Wolsingham Show is a highlight of County Durham's calendar, known for being the biggest and best open-air agricultural show in the region. This year, on the 7th and 8th of September, New Bridgegate Tyres had the pleasure of joining the excitement, bringing tyre demonstrations and a thrilling tyre fitting competition to the second arena. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase our skills, engage with the local community, and immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of this traditional agricultural event.

A Showdown in the Second Arena: Tractor and Truck Tyres Go Head to Head

The highlight of our participation came on Saturday afternoon when two of our top technicians, Steve Brown and Jack Watson, went head-to-head in a live tyre-changing competition. With the local crowd eagerly gathered around the second arena, Steve and Jack faced the ultimate challenge: who could change a tractor tyre and a truck tyre the fastest?

The atmosphere was electric, with spectators cheering on the competitors as they demonstrated the speed, precision, and skill required to handle these heavy-duty tyres. It wasn't just about speed; it was also about showing the crowd the expertise involved in professional tyre fitting – an essential service that helps keep agricultural vehicles and trucks running safely.

Bringing the New Bridgegate Tyres Experience to the Wolsingham Show

For us at New Bridgegate Tyres, attending the Wolsingham Show wasn’t just about putting on a show – it was a chance to connect with the local community and celebrate the agricultural life that plays such a vital role in County Durham. Our collaboration with West End Garage of Wolsingham added to the experience, allowing us to demonstrate our expertise and share knowledge about tyre maintenance and safety for all types of vehicles, from everyday cars to heavy-duty agricultural equipment.

The Wolsingham Show is well-known for its rich mix of activities, from livestock displays and equestrian events to craft stalls and live music. Being part of such a diverse and fun-packed weekend allowed us to reach out to both the farming community and families enjoying a day out. It was wonderful to see people of all ages taking an interest in what we do, asking questions about tyre safety, and even trying their hand at some of our tyre-fitting techniques.

A Celebration of Agricultural Life and Community Spirit

The Wolsingham Show isn’t just an event; it’s a celebration of the rural way of life that brings people together from across the region. Whether it was watching the livestock competitions, enjoying traditional crafts, or participating in the various demonstrations, there was something for everyone. We were proud to be part of this celebration, showcasing the importance of tyre safety and maintenance in the agricultural sector, which often relies on robust and well-fitted tyres to get the job done.

Looking Ahead to Future Events

The Wolsingham Show was a fantastic experience, and we look forward to participating again in the future. At New Bridgegate Tyres, we’re committed to staying involved in community events, sharing our expertise, and supporting local traditions that bring people together. Our live demonstrations and competitions are not just about showing what we can do; they’re about engaging with the community and emphasising the importance of proper tyre maintenance for all types of vehicles.
