Ashby Nub News is keen to support local events, especially as we come out of lockdown, to help them gain the support they need and deserve.

So, if you're staging an event of any kind - indoors or out - please tell us about it by clicking the link for our FREE 'What's On' events listing service and adding your details.

Add a photo to go with it and we'll add it to our listings.... AND, it will also be included in our weekly free newsletter which goes out each Friday to almost 2,000 people in the Ashby area.

Our event of the week is the long-awaited return of Jim's Tractor Run this Sunday.

Postponed last year due to the Covid lockdown, the popular event is back on July 25.

Jim's Tractor Run & Family Fun Day is a fantastic event that has up to 100 tractors and vintage vehicles parading through the town centre out to Blackfordby and returning to the Bath Grounds where there are stalls, rides, games and attractions.

There is free entry to the Bath Grounds.

Ashby councillor Jim Hoult is organising the event which will be supporting his chosen charity Hospice Hope.

If you are planning to watch the Tractor Run through Ashby and the surrounding villages - here is the route.

The tractors will leave Roecliffe Farm in New Packington at around 11am and meet the steam engines at St Helen's Church.

They will lead the tractors down the street and go to the Bath grounds - the tractors will carry on to Derby Road, up Burton Road hill to Boundary, then left through Blackfordby, then turning left at Norris Hill and back to the Bath Grounds for about 12 noon.
