This year’s event will be recorded ahead of time and streamed on social media in support of a number of causes.

Embrace FARM is one of those, a charity which supports people affected by farm accidents – Billy’s Recovery is the other, in support of a paralysed young boy from a farming family.

People are encouraged to follow the hashtag #christmastractorsofnenagh to enjoy the fun on Saturday December 19.
