Friday 29th May – Houston Agricultural Show Charity Tractor Run 🚜
This much-loved annual event sees tractors of all shapes and sizes take to the roads on a scenic route around the village, showcasing local agriculture and community spirit. It’s a special event for us personally, as Megan—our owner—is President of the Agricultural Show, so it’s very close to our hearts. It’s a fantastic way to see the village come together for a great cause and a real highlight of the month.
