Welshpool illuminated tractor run times - where to see farm vehicles light up towns and villages

The Welshpool Illuminated Tractor Run returns on Sunday to raise money for the Addington Fund, a charity that provides housing and disaster relief in the form of animal feed or services to farmers in need across England and Wales.

The lit-up tractors will meet at Welshpool Livestock Market on Sunday before embarking on a 30.2-mile round trip after dark through the town and some of the surrounding villages.

Gates at the livestock market open at 2pm, with all tractors due on site by 3.30pm. The decorated tractors will be judged by 4.30pm when the market car park is closed to spectators ahead of the run at 5pm. A prize will be awarded to the best-decorated vehicle.

The journey will take around two hours, and organisers have said a total of 210 entries have been submitted, more than double the 88 that lit up the streets last year.

Organiser Jenny Clarke, expressed her excitement at the scale of this year's run.

She said: "We had 88 tractors last year and have 210 entered this year. We believe we are the biggest illuminated tractor run in Powys and it will certainly be a fascinating sight."

The event is free, but spectators are encouraged to donate to the fund through a volunteer on collection duty.
