Cloughton Christmas Tractor Run defies the rain to raise money for Yorkshire Air Ambulance

All sizes of tractors and other vehicles, decorated with lights and additional adornments, travelled from Moor Farm, Cloughton through Burniston, Scalby and Newby into Scarborough and back again.

Drivers and supporters then convened at Moor Farm in Cloughton where they enjoyed a Hog Roast Supper and held a charity auction and raffle.

Volunteers carried collection buckets along the route to accept donations for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, and organisers encouraged those who didn’t carry cash to donate via the JustGiving page at https://www.justgiving.com/page/charity-christmas-tractor-run-06122024 .

Event organiser Trisha Barron said: “It was exceptional – absolutely fantastic.

"The only person against us was God with all that rain – and that was shown in the collection buckets – but the JustGiving page is still open if people would like to support the charity.

“We have surpassed last year’s total of £7,095, if I was to hazard a guess I’d say we’re at around £7,300.

“The support was immense, we had 75 entrants, 20 more than last year.

"And thanks must go to all of the businesses who supported us, especially Trotter’s Farm Shop for the hog roast, and Ender Racing and Liam Murray for donating a 12-month share in a racehorse which raised £1350.

"Thanks too to the tractor drivers who put a lot of time and effort into decorating their tractors and to every supporter who braved the rain.”
