Horns honked for Hanbury Show Tractor Weekend

Tractors of all shapes and sizes caused a stir around Worcestershire today (Sunday) as they took part in this year's Hanbury Show Tractor Weekend.

WOW: Various tractors were paraded through Feckenham. (Image: NQ) The weather remained dry as a number of tractors were driven in a circular route through villages to raise money for the show and various charities.

But the event festivities did not go completely to plan after event organisers were forced to cancel its Saturday tractor pull due to the wet weather.

There were about a dozen tractors taking part. (Image: NQ) The rain also caused the Sunday Tractor Run to start from a smaller and drier area of the Park Hall Farm Showground.

Yet, people were still seen waiting in various villages to catch a glimpse of the tractors on show and wave to the drivers.

The drivers waved at the residents as they passed in an assortment of blue, green, and red tractors.

The event had a range of tractors taking part. (Image: NQ) The route took the group from the showground, past The Jinney Ring and into Inkerrow for a spot of lunch at The Old Bull.

It then went by Radford, Flyford Flavell, Huddington and Himbleton. 

The Tractor Weekend aims to raise funds for the Hanbury Countryside Show, the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity and the RABI.

It will also raise money for  The Matt Gallagher Foundation in memory of long-standing supporter and friend of the Show Nicki Sharp.
