The tractors are coming!

Save the date - Saturday 21st December 2024

The Farmers on Christmas Lights Tour is back for another year in aid of Garden House Hospice Care and promises to be bigger and better than ever, bringing wonderful festive cheer tractor-style a few days before Christmas.

The convoy of tractors and farm vehicles will be draped in flashing lights, snowmen, snowflakes and Christmas trees. No paintwork will be left untouched as they parade the streets of Baldock, Letchworth and Hitchin in a sight that is sure to put a smile on the faces of everyone.

Approximate timings

• 6:00pm - Convoy begins in Clothall Road, Baldock, making its way through the High Street
• 6:45pm - Arrives in Letchworth via Pixmore Way, into Norton Way South and up Gernon Road before making its way down Eastcheap, Leys Avenue and Broadway Gardens
• 7:30pm - leads into Hitchin via Hitchin Road, ending at St Marys Car Park for the perfect finale of fairground rides, treats and all the thank yous we can offer!

Donations

Our aim is to raise £50,000 in donations, which will pay for one week of care for all patients on our Inpatient Unit over the festive season, including the cost of nursing and our doctors, and running costs like water and keeping the unit clean. Every pound raised will really will make a difference.

You can donate on the night or through our website, via JustGiving or by texting TRACTOR to 70460 to donate £5. Texts will cost the donation amount plus one standard network rate message.
