Join the bonkers crazy festive fundraising fun of the Archers Festive tractor run through South Leicestershire.

As the sounds of the horns fade we see the crowds disperse till next year when the festive spectacle will roll again though the villages of Leicestershire.

The Archers View Vintage Tractor run made it`s way around a route taking in multiple villages in South Leicestershire. Setting off from Banbury Lane at 10.30 am before completing a loop and returning to the village of Countesthorpe later at 2.30pm to travel along main street where we catch up with them in my film. We see many vintage tractors of differing ages and types pass by St Andrews Church their unmistakable engine sounds and bright colours bringing joy to the villagers of Countesthorpe who lined the streets to see them.
