The Christmas Tractor Run returns for 2026, bringing a convoy of decorated tractors back to Gloucester this December, with plenty of Christmas lights to look out for as the vehicles make their way through the local area.

In 2025, the route took in Redmarley, Staunton, Ashleworth, Hartpury, Maisemore and Longford before finishing at St Oswald's Retail Park in Gloucester. We're waiting to hear on whether the same route will be used in 2026.

If you're planning to watch with children, it's worth waiting for the updated route and approximate passing times before choosing your spot. Keep an eye on the organiser's Facebook page for the latest announcements.
