Banbury tractor run: Dozens take part in charity convoy

Local farmers gave their tractors some festive bling for the event

One hundred tractors have taken part in a festive convoy for charity.

This year's route for RC Baker's Christmas Tractor Run, in Oxfordshire, was extended to include Banbury for the first time.

The festive fleet also travelled through Bodicote, Adderbury, Aynho, Clifton, Deddington, Hempton, Barford St Michael, Barford St John, South Newington, Milcombe and Bloxham.

The event, first held in 2017, has raised more than £69,000 for Katharine House Hospice in Banbury to date.

The charity provides free palliative care for adults with life-limiting conditions across North Oxfordshire and South Northamptonshire.
