The Mighty Truckfest Lincoln returns for a spectacular family weekend!

Get ready — Truckfest Lincoln is back and set to deliver an unforgettable, action-packed family weekend on Sunday, the 4th and Monday, the 5th, May 2025, at the iconic Lincolnshire Showground.

Monster Truck Swampthing

This legendary event draws in thousands of spectacular trucks, from towering American rigs and vintage classics to highly customised working trucks — offering a weekend full of adrenaline-fueled action, jaw-dropping displays, celebrity guests, and fantastic family entertainment.

Often described as the “Glastonbury for Trucks”, Truckfest brings together the heart of the road haulage industry for a truly larger-than-life celebration. Truckers from across the UK will showcase their pride and joy, competing in display competitions and connecting with thousands of fans who share a love for life on the road.

This year promises even more excitement, including:

Monday: Meet Emily Steel (‘Dynamite’) and Alex Gray (‘Apollo’).

Truck manufacturers and distributors will also be showcasing the latest industry innovations, including a dedicated Electric Zone highlighting the future of road haulage. Event sponsors Fruehauf will be on hand to welcome visitors to their exhibition stand in a relaxed and engaging setting.

And that’s not all — Truckfest now has its very own radio station!

Following its launch last year, HGV1 Radio continues to connect the road haulage community year-round with industry news, guest interviews, music, and podcasts. As the event approaches, HGV1 offers exclusive show previews and behind-the-scenes features — and this year, the station’s presenters will join Mikey Faulkner in the main arena, bringing even more energy to the weekend!
