The North West Charity Tractor Run - in aid of the North West Air Ambulance

Celebrating Farming, Community, and a Great Cause

The North West Charity Tractor Run began after a 2022 Run marking the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. It was such a success that it became an annual tradition from 2023, taking place in June alongside Open Farm Sunday.
The route changes each year but always finishes at Rufford Village Hall to join a relaxed Family Fun Day there.
With more tractors joining the convoy every year, and all proceeds going to charity, it's a true highlight of our rural calendar.

The North West Air Ambulance Charity provides rapid, life-saving care across the region, bringing the hospital to the patient when every second counts. They receive no government or NHS funding and rely entirely on the generosity of supporters to stay in the air. Every pound raised helps them respond to critical emergencies across our rural and urban communities, 365 days a year.
We’re proud to say that our community raised over £5,200 for the cause in 2025. Thank you to everyone who made it possible!
