A Harrogate primary school received a surprise tractor visit yesterday (Monday) ahead of the return of the UK's largest vintage tractor show.
Children at Rossett Acre Primary School welcomed the Your Harrogate team in a state-of-the-art John Deere tractor, kindly supplied by Ripon Farm Services.
The school was selected as the winner of our competition with Tractor Fest, which returns to Newby Hall on 8th and 9th June.
Excited pupils gathered in the school's playground at 12pm yesterday before welcoming Your Harrogate's Pete Egerton behind the wheel of the 10-foot tractor.

They were then given the opportunity to climb into the cab and get behind the wheel.
Miss Woodcock, Deputy Head at Rossett Acre, said:
“It’s really exciting! Agriculture is massive in the curriculum and is only going to get bigger.
“We’re already a Green Flag school, everything we do is focused on sustainability, and our food waste and energy is huge.”
She added:
“One of your big things is trying to create this awe and wonder for the children, because of the influence of screens.
“More and more are starting to get outside, but we just want to make it an exciting experience and something they’ll remember.”
Watch the moment here:
