Christmas Tractor Runs in Warwickshire 2026
Christmas tractor runs are a fairly new tradition in Warwickshire, but they're growing every year. Farmers, young farmers' clubs and local volunteers spend weeks decking out their tractors, then drive them in a glowing convoy through villages and towns. They're free to watch, they bring whole communities out onto the pavement, and they raise money for brilliant local causes as they go. All in all, a very welcome way to feel festive without spending a penny (bar whatever you pop in the bucket).

Sheepy Ploughing Association Christmas Tractor Run - 11th & 12th December 2026
Warwickshire Young Farmers Christmas Tractor Run - 15th December 2026
You'll hear it before you see it. A low rumble, a burst of Christmas music, and then a tractor the size of a small house rolls round the corner wearing more fairy lights than most of the street put together. Small faces light up. Big ones do too, if we're honest!
Before you go
• Wrap up warm. You'll be standing still in the dark in December. Hats, gloves and a flask of hot chocolate are your friends.
• Check on the day. Routes and timings are often confirmed late, and weather can cause delays. Organisers post updates on Facebook first.
• Times are a guide. Convoys nearly always run a little behind.
• Pick a spot and stay put. The tractors don't usually stop. Village pavements are calmer for little ones; town centres get the biggest crowds.
• Bring cash or your phone. Most runs collect donations along the route.
• Stand well back. Twinkly or not, these are very big machines.
