The Tuddenham tractor run, starting from The Purple Pantry, is organised annually in memory of Philip Brown, who passed away from cancer in 2021. His father, Peter Brown, launched the event as a tribute, and it has since grown into a much-loved gathering. 

The convoy of vintage and modern tractors winds through the lanes, cheered on by families and villagers, while raising significant sums for Cancer Research UK (with single events raising over £4,000). 

The Purple Pantry provides the hub for sign-on and refreshments, while the convoy route offers stunning rural scenes and chances for photography.
