A festive tractor parade across South Leicestershire has raised around £30,000 for charity.

Over 250 decorated tractors and other vehicles took to the streets on Sunday evening, as the Archers Festive Tractor Run returned for a fifth year.

There was a great turn-out from spectators, who braved the weather to watch the parade as it started in Lutterworth and visited surrounding towns and villages.

Organiser Ryan Archer has thanked all who supported the event and praised the fantastic effort made by all the farmers and others who decorated their vehicles.

Proceeds from this year’s event will go to LOROS, the Leicestershire MS Therapy Centre, the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution & the Farms Safety Foundation, known as ‘Yellow Wellies.’

The tractor runs have raised over £150,000 for causes based in Leicestershire since starting in 2019.
