Young farmer fun awaits in Nottinghamshire with this Explorer Junior Tractor Driving Experience, designed especially for teenagers aged 13 to 17. This hands-on session gives young drivers around 30 minutes behind the wheel of a real, full-size tractor, all under the watchful guidance of a qualified instructor. Held at the Tournament Ground, the experience takes place entirely on private land, safely away from public roads. With purpose-built tractor trails and working fields that change with the seasons, it offers a safe yet authentic farm driving environment. Teenagers will be driving a powerful agricultural workhorse from trusted brands such as Massey Ferguson or New Holland TM150. These impressive machines are built to multitask and provide a genuine taste of farm life. With extra time at the wheel, the Explorer experience allows young drivers to build confidence, practise their skills and enjoy a longer drive around the tractor circuit. It’s a memorable and exciting gift for any teen who loves machinery, the outdoors and trying something different.
