Tractor N’ Tinsel Run & Market
Tractor N’ Tinsel Run & Market is Making Headlines!
We’re delighted to announce that the Wiltshire Times, read by over 26,000 households every month, has featured our beloved Tractor N’ Tinsel Run & Market! Now in its fourth year, this festive event promises to be bigger and better than ever, with over 150 tractors decorated in full holiday spirit parading through the beautiful Wiltshire countryside.
Devizes Young Farmers Club (YFC) chairman Luke Pearce said: “We are pleased to support Oracle Head & Neck Cancer UK with this year’s tractor run.
“The charity helped my family friend Jon when a golf-ball-sized lump appeared on the side of his neck.
“It took several months for Jon to be diagnosed with cancer, but he has since recovered, having been treated and rehabilitated by the team at Swindon Great Western Hospital, with the support of the charity.”
