The Main Event – The Glorious Convoy at 5 PM
As dusk falls, the excitement builds for the main attraction: a vintage tractor convoy like no other.

Each tractor, glowing with Christmas lights, will start its journey from Par Market, creating a spectacle that’s truly unforgettable.
They’ll be on their way to the Children’s Hospice Little Harbour Porthpean where these tractors and their drivers will deliver Christmas gifts to children who could use a little extra holiday cheer. Imagine the joy on those little faces as the convoy arrives – it’s like Santa’s sleigh, but with a Cornish twist (and a whole lot more horsepower).
Supporting a Beautiful Cause – A Holiday Gesture with Heart
