Where to see 200 farm vehicles light up the roads in the Welshpool Illuminated Tractor Run

Last year more than 200, all covered in Christmas lights, set out from the market down for a 30-mile round trip to raise money for charity.

The popular event is now back, with a whole afternoon of activities planned before the vehicles set out from Welshpool Livestock Market at around 5pm.

Tractors can start arriving from 1pm before gates open to the public an hour later.

All tractors must be on site by 3.30pm for judging. While take takes place, the children's tractor run, which involves pedal tractor entrants for under 8s who decorate and light up their toy vehicles before driving them round a course at the market.

Once the site is closed to members of the public at 4.30pm, it's a half-hour wait until the tractors take to the road.

Organisers say 224 people have entered the illuminated run, while 28 children are taking part in the junior event at the market.

This year they are raising money for The Children's Adventure Farm Trust, a charity that provides free activities for terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children.

From the market, the tractors will go along Salop Road into Welshpool and up the town's High Street.

They will then run to Guilsfield, Ardleen, Four Crosses, Llandrinio, Criggion, Trewern and Buttington before making their way back to Welshpool Livestock Market.
