THE Furness and District Tractor Run will host a Santa special as they drive around Furness.

The tractors will be adorned with Christmas lights on Saturday December 3 as they raise money for St Mary's Hospice. 

The tractors did their last run on September 4, which raised thousands of pounds for St Mary's Hospice. The tractors travelled around 40 miles of the Furness peninsula.

Sarah Simpson, the communications and marketing manager at St Mary's Hospice described that run as 'a big success.' She said:  “The event just gets bigger and better every year. It has been another fantastic year, tremendous teamwork, skill and tractors behind it all, thank you SO much on behalf of everyone at St Mary’s.”

Karen Higgs, 41, along with her partner Alan Irving, 47, organised the event.

She said: “The day gives an opportunity for folk to come together and share a common interest of all things tractors."
