Festive farm vehicles will be hitting the road once more after organisers confirmed the date of a popular pre-Christmas tractor run.

The next edition of the biannual Bourne Tractor Run will take place on Sunday, December 14.

Drivers are due to gather with their festively-dressed tractors from 1pm at JJMac’s Spalding Road base before the grand depart at 3pm.

They will make their way through Bourne town centre and head out on a tour of local villages before heading back to town.

Father and daughter organisers, Tim and Lisa Sleight are appealing for prizes for a fundraising tombola. Refreshments will also be on sale on the day as well as collectable farm models.

This will be the fourth run since the father and daughter team launched it last year.

Its biggest turnout of 57 tractors hit the road for its latest trundle this summer which raised more than £2,500 for the British Heart Foundation.
