Europe’s largest monster truck is crushing its way into the Dorset County Show 2026, returning to Dorchester on September 5 and 6.
The county show has announced its headline main arena attraction, and it is BIG.
Big Pete and The Grim Reaper Monster Trucks will be jumping, car crushing and even ripping cars apart. Get ready to witness the roar of these impressive monster trucks as they crush cars – they are quite the machine.
Big Pete – the world’s only real monster truck – weighs a staggering 7.5 tonnes and stands at 16ft tall by 12ft wide – no car stands a chance. Big Pete is built for one thing and one thing only, mass destruction… When Pete rolls into action, you’ll certainly hear his roar!
The Grim Reaper is sleek, modern and built for action. The title ‘Reaper’ certainly sums up this monster. It’s lighter, agile and even has a hint of sparkle in its bodywork.
The Monster Trucks, sponsored by Evans & Pearce, will cause destruction in the NFU Mutual Dorchester Main Ring on both days of the 2026 County Show.
