Archers Festive Tractor Run 2025

  

The Annual Charity festive Tractor Run by the @ArchersView  made its way around South Leicester on Sunday 21st December 2015. The weather outside was spiteful but the tractors looked delightful with lights aglow, with horns sounding loudly we could hear them approaching from a long way outside the village of Countesthorpe in Leicestershire. As the parade begins we see the first tractors approach the roundabout and hear exited cheers from the considerable crowd who have braved the wet weather and cold temperatures. As various styles and sizes of farm vehicle pass we also see The Grinch riding a motorbike and holding a Christmas tree !. Switching to a lower vantage point further along Main Street we hear renditions if popular music from Barbie Girl to Baby Shark !. Among the tractors we see other vehicles taking part such as a bright orange Crouch Recovery truck and waste collection trucks or "bin lorries". A vintage vehicle follows with antlers and Santa clause waving from the passenger seat, as it passes an inflatable Grinch is seen on the back who is forever blowing bubbles. Moving to a raised vantage point the tractors pass below, on a trailer we are reminded of the numbers to text to donate to the charities supported by the event. (At the time of publishing the numbers are active so feel free to pause the video at this time and make a donation if you wish thank you). As the credits roll the last of the tractors pass and the parade makes its way on to the next village.
