Tractor Run
December 14 @ 8:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Since our very first Christmas Tractor Run in December 2016, we, along with friends, family and customers from our local farming community, have continued to light up the streets each year with our festive fleet raising over £145,000 so far for Katharine House Hospice.
The festive convoy will depart from Spring Hill Farm, Barford St Michael as usual at 5pm and will take to the roads travelling through South Newington, Milcombe, Bloxham, around Banbury Cross and along the Oxford Road to Adderbury. After passing the home that this event is all in aid of, Katharine House Hospice, the convoy will continue to Aynho. From here the convoy will turn right to Clifton, pass through Deddington (via the marketplace), travel to Hempton and back through Barford St Michael returning to Spring Hill Farm.

Safety guidance for spectators
- Please supervise all children in your group
- Come prepared for the forecast conditions. Sometimes our tractors are slightly delayed, which means waiting in the cold.
- Ensure you and any members in your party are stood on the pavement and off the road at all times.
- There can be a lot of loud noise both form the crowds and from the tractors, so you may want to consider using ear defenders.
- There are stewards and collectors along the procession route but these are all volunteers who have given their time freely, so please help us to keep everyone safe as we have limited resources.
Best Dressed Tractor:
Tractor drivers will be invited to take part in our ‘best dressed tractor’ competition and will be issued with a number when they sign up to take part. They will be asked to clearly display their number if they want to take part in the competition to enable spectators to vote for their favorite! Keep an eye out on Facebook for the opportunity to vote.
