Tractor event aims to inspire next generation

Organisers of the annual Lincolnshire Wolds Tractor Run say they want to make it "the biggest and best run yet" and inspire future tractor enthusiasts.

The event, which will take place on 8 June, is in its 17th year and raised over £3,000 for Marie Curie in 2024.

Participants have been asked to decorate their tractors, trailers and themselves in yellow, as a nod to the charity's branding.

Pete Cook, farm worker at Caudwell's Yard, said: "We're trying to encourage more families to come to the start line to get children more involved as they grow up."

A trail of tractors will set off across the Lincolnshire Wolds from Caudwell's Yard in Ludborough at 10:00 BST and stop off at Stainton Le Vale.

The two-hour stop will allow visitors to enjoy the tractors on display before they arrive back at Caudwell's Yard at approximately 16:00.

Those wishing to enter their tractors are being asked to arrived from 07:00.

Mr Cook added: "It's so good to see people interacting."

He said older drivers would compare their vintage tractors while younger owners were encouraged to bring their vehicles to ensure the event would continue in to the future.
