70 tractors will embark on a 40 mile trip to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

The annual Bluebell Run event, organised by the Moreton Show and North Cotswold Tractor Club, will take place on Sunday, May 13.

The route starts at the home of Kim Bailey Racing at Thorndale Farm in Andoversford before winding its way through country lanes, fords, farms and estates via the villages of Withington, Upper Coberley, Colesbourne, Compton Abdale, Calmsden, Chedworth and Yanworth.

It costs £10 to register a tractor with all proceeds going to charity. Registration is at 9.30am and tractors will hit the road at 10.30am.

Richard Ward, chairman of Moreton Show’s Tractor Committee said: ‘The Bluebell Run is always a great day out – for the owners and all those who turn out to see the amazing parade of tractors. Children love to see the different shapes, sizes and colours of tractors which can date back to the 1950s. The older tractors are dwarfed by the giant, modern machines.

"Last year, there were 64 tractors on the road in the most glorious sunshine and we raised more than £1,000 for Cancer Research UK. We’d like to do even better this year and I hope people will help us in the fight against this terrible disease."
