Tractor run Christmas spectacular to start from Fox Valley
5 November 2024
A spectacular tractor run will be launching from Fox Valley this year to help shoppers to roll into Christmas feeling festive.
The annual
Bradfield Christmas Tractor Run will feature about 100 illuminated tractors and
will depart from the Stocksbridge-based shopping centre on Sunday, December 15,
at 5pm, giving shoppers a chance to marvel at the lights spectacular.
The parade will
be led by Father Christmas, Mrs Christmas and Elves in their sleigh as
they make their way through the towns and villages of north Sheffield before
finishing in the Loxley Valley.
The event
raises thousands of pounds for charity every year and all monies raised this
time will go to Bluebell Wood Hospice and Weston Park Hospital.
The
organisers are on a mission to beat
last years total and raise well over £8000 for the chosen charities.
The event
will be part of a bumper weekend of activities at the centre, as we will also
be hosting the latest Makers Market on the Saturday between 10am and 3pm.
Talented
makers from across the area including The Sheffield Gift Co., Handcrafted
Jewellery by Kim and many more will be selling their lovingly crafted products.
Charlotte
Whittaker, Centre Manager at Fox Valley, said: “If you have ever seen the
tractors run before you will know it is spectacular so this is not to be
missed!
“The event is
all for a good cause too so come along to marvel at the tractor run and support one of the chosen charities.”
The
organisers are appealing for tractor drivers who want to take part to come
forward – and there are plenty of great incentives.
There will be
a prize draw for the best dressed tractor and a raffle will be held at the end
of the route at The Bradfield Plough in Low Bradfield.
Visitors to Fox Valley are being advised that there will be restricted use of the centre car park to allow for the tractors to gather and then leave the site. More details on this will be announced closer to the event.
