Route revealed for return of Ripon's Tinsel Tractor Run

Friday, 14 November 2025 07:14

The Tinsel Tractor Run returns to Ripon next month.

The route for Ripon's Tinsel Tractor Run has been confirmed ahead of the festive fundraiser's return next month.

Taking place on Saturday 6th December, the annual event, which raises money for Yorkshire Cancer Research, will once again see a convoy of decorated tractors travel through Ripon and nearby villages.

Tractors will begin arriving at Tates Garden Centre on Studley Road from 1pm, before departing at 3pm.

The procession will then travel to Morrisons in Ripon at 3.15pm, pass through Bishop Monkton at 3.50pm, reach Roecliffe at 4.20pm and arrive at Morrisons in Boroughbridge for 4.35pm.

Drivers are expected to leave Boroughbridge around 5pm, continuing through Langthorpe at about 5.20pm and Skelton at roughly 5.35pm.

The tractors will then return to Ripon, passing the cathedral at around 6.20pm before arriving in Ripon Market Place at approximately 6.30pm. Once there, they will park up on display for visitors to enjoy.

The tractor run is expecting more than 30 decorated tractors and is organised by vintage tractor enthusiasts from the Ripon Tinsel Tractor Group.

Residents and visitors are advised that short delays may occur along the route as the convoy passes.
