Christmas Tractor Run
The Silchester village tractor run is a charming event that captures the spirit of community and charity in the north of Hampshire. This festive gathering, typically held in December, sees a convoy of brightly decorated tractors parade through the local villages, bringing joy and Christmas cheer to residents. The event not only serves as a delightful spectacle but also raises funds for important causes, such as the Ileostomy & Internal Pouch Association and Simon Says Child Bereavement, supporting those living with an ileostomy (an operation to bring the end of the small bowel through an opening in the abdomen to form a stoma) and young people experiencing bereavement, respectively. It's a heart-warming example of how local traditions can bring people together for a good cause, ending with a gathering at Silchester Farm where the community can enjoy food, drink, and the company of neighbours while supporting charitable efforts.
Gary and Vicki Crockford had taken over the Silchester village tractor run for the first time in 2023, preparing a fleet of tractors ready to light up the streets and bring some Christmas cheer to all. The tractor run saw several decorated tractors take to the streets, passing through Sherfield, Bramley, Pamber Heath, Tadley and Pamber Green, before ending at Silchester Farm, the event's main sponsor.
