More than 150 tractors are taking to the Yorkshire Coast in convoy this afternoon.
The Farmer Christmas Tractor Run will start and end in Foxholes- taking in the likes of Rudston and Hunmanby.
Started in 2021, the first in East Yorkshire and now in its fourth year. In the last four years the event has raised approximately £24,000 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance and in 2023 won Community Group of the Year.
The event was postponed by Storm Darragh last Sunday.
As well as the route donations going to YAA, the event supports Kilham Playing Field Association and the North Wolds Lions.
There will be a tracker on the lead vehicle for up-to-date route information on the night.
The North Wolds Lions will be providing Santa visits for £5 including a small gift.
As well as hot drinks, mulled wine and hot chocolate provided by the Foxholes Community Hall and KPFA volunteers.
People are then encouraged to watch the tractors along the route, as there will be no public access to the Hall at the end.
One of the organisers is Nicola Knaggs:
Full route:
Foxholes 3.30pm
Wold Newton 3.45pm
Hunmanby 4.20pm
Burton Fleming 4.50pm
Rudston 5.15pm
Kilham 5.45pm
Langtoft 6.15pm
Ending in Foxholes
Organisers request anyone watching to avoid parking along the route itself within villages so access is maintained at all times for the large vehicles as well as for emergency service access.
Public parking around the route can be found at Foxholes Community Hall ahead of the route set off, Burton Fleming Village Hall and the field opposite (4x4), Church Hill area in Hunmanby, Kilham Village Hall and Kilham Playing Field Association car parks.
Pubs and community spaces along the route are offering mince pies and mulled wine as extras too.
People are then encouraged to watch the tractors along the route, as there will be no public access at the Foxholes Community Hall at the end.
Organisers request anyone watching along the route to park on adjacent streets and keep the route itself as clear as possible.
