Safety guidance for spectators

Please supervise all children in your group
Come prepared for the forecast conditions. Sometimes our tractors are slightly delayed, which means waiting in the cold.
Ensure you and any members in your party are stood on the pavement and off the road at all times.
There can be a lot of loud noise both form the crowds and from the tractors, so you may want to consider using ear defenders.
There are stewards and collectors along the procession route but these are all volunteers who have given their time freely, so please help us to keep everyone safe as we have limited resources.

Best Dressed Tractor:
Tractor drivers will be invited to take part in our ‘best dressed tractor’ competition and will be issued with a number when they sign up to take part. They will be asked to clearly display their number if they want to take part in the competition to enable spectators to vote for their favorite! Keep an eye out on Facebook for the opportunity to vote.
Don’t forget the all important donation details!
Text TractorLights 5 to 70085 to donate £5
Texts cost £5 plus one standard rate message. Want to donate a different amount? Whatever number is sent is the amount that is donated. For example, if you text ‘TractorLights 10’ to 70085, you will donate £10 to Katharine House Hospice.
