Tractors took over the roads to delight crowds and raise money for two good causes. 

On Saturday, October 19, dozens of young farmers travelled across the county in their tractors in the name of charity. 

This year, the South East Hants Young Farmers tractor run raised money for Guide Dogs and Rowan's Hospice, with all money raised split evenly between the two charities.

Every year the turn out is always as good. People are even messaging in August to find out when it is going to be. It’s a great event.”

Paula Purkiss with Dexter, five, and Poppy, seven, and local resident Sylvia Stiles were out in Bishop's Waltham to see the spectacle.

She said: “I think it’s absolutely lovely. It’s a lovely annual event for charity. Everybody gets quite excited about it and the whole community comes out.”

After driving through Bishop's Waltham, the young farmers travelled through Wickham, Southwick, Denmead, Hambledon, East and West Meon before coming to an end at Caffeine and Machine at the A32/A272 crossroads at approximately 2.30pm.

At Caffeine and Machine, the farmers held a raffle to raise further funds for their chosen charities.
