A one-night convoy of illuminated tractors runs from the Cotswold villages of Shipton, Withington and Andoversford through Charlton Kings and Prestbury and along Bath Road into Cheltenham town centre. The tour raises money for Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice and RABI, and publishes live tracking so spectators can follow the convoy. The 2025 tour ran on Saturday 20 December; the organisers say 2026 dates will be announced on their website and social channels. The main illuminated convoy is confirmed for Saturday 19 December 2026: about 40 tractors leave Shipton at 5pm, travelling through Withington, Andoversford, Charlton Kings and Prestbury into Cheltenham by 7.30pm, with additional rural tours on 21 and 22 December. The 2026 charities are Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity and Dementia UK.
