The Tinsel Tractor Run returns to Ripon and Boroughbridge this weekend.

The Tinsel Tractor Run will be returning to Ripon and Boroughbridge on Saturday (7th December).

The tractor run will consist of 35 decorated tractors, including South Yorkshire farmer, YouTube and TikTok star, Joe Seels.

It’s organised by vintage tractor enthusiasts from the Ripon Tinsel Tractor Group and Simon Dickinson, who is part of the group.

He told Your Harrogate:

“We'll be arriving at Tate’s (F Tate and Sons in Ripon) from 1PM and leaving promptly at three, heading straight to Ripon Morrison’s for a 15 minute stop.

"Then towards Bishop Monkton and over to Boroughbridge Morrison’s. Returning via Skelton to Ripon Market square, where we will do a few laps, before parking up and Morrison’s will be judging the best dressed tractor and awarding a prize!

“We ran this last year with only 18 tractors and raised £1640 for the same charity. It would be great to see you around, giving us a cheer and donating anything you can."

Organisers have requested no entries on the day and timings of the Tractor Run are as follows:

3PM - Depart from Tates Garden Centre
3:15PM - Morrisons Ripon
3:50PM - Bishop Monkton
4:35PM - Morrisons Boroughbridge
