An all time record number of people turned out for the 2026 Jim's Tractor Run.

The free event took place on Ashby's Bath Grounds on 26 July, featuring a parade of tractors, vintage cars and unique vehicles through Ashby and the surrounding villages before proceeding to the Bath Grounds for the rest of the festivities.

One attendee commented on social media saying: 'One of the best events I've been to for a long time. My two definitely enjoyed the mini steam train ride, definitely a highlight of the day - especially with them letting you give donations instead of a set charge per ride.

'Brilliant tractors and emergency service vehicles, we can't wait for next year.'
