Huge Christmas convoy of tractors brings festive cheer to Basildon

A group of around 50 tractor owners and employees at a tractor factory formed a special Christmas convoy to drive around the town of Basildon.

As well as spreading Christmas cheer to the streets of Basildon, they were also raising money for St Luke’s Hospice.

The charity provides care and compassion to individuals with life limiting conditions, palliative and end of life care.

It was the first year the tractor run had been organised by basildon agricultural firm CNH, which has been manufacturing tractors in the town for over 50 years.

Owners of tractors were invited to take part including New Holland tractors, Case IH tracors and Ford tractor owners.

The route saw the tractors travel around all of Basildon, delighting children as they honked their horns.
