Expect a parade of horsepower and nostalgia as tractors, vintage motors and steam engines wind their way through Glastonbury and surrounding villages on Saturday 10 August, all in support of the Glastonbury Carnival Committee.

The rolling convoy will pass through Glastonbury High Street, Butleigh Wootton, Butleigh, Kingweston, Keinton Mandeville, Catsham, Baltonsborough, and Street High Street before returning to Butler Carnival Park.

The gates on Common Moor Drove open at 10am, with the convoy setting off at around 11:30am. There will be no stops on the route.

Back at base, the afternoon shifts into gear with live music from The Roadsters, food stalls, a bar, ice cream and more. Spectator entry is free, with donations encouraged; drivers taking part will be charged £10 per vehicle. Parking is available at Herbie's Field on Meare Road.

All manner of machines are welcome — from tractors to steam engines —so if it's got wheels (or a boiler), give it a polish and join the lineup.
