A Christmas tree farm near Skipton is preparing to raise money for Spinal Research once again this festive season.
Lowfield Farm in Beamsley, between Addingham and Bolton Bridge, will continue its annual fundraising tradition, with proceeds from Christmas tree sales supporting the charity.
The initiative began in 2010 when the three children of Rob Shelton started selling Christmas trees grown on the family farm.
Rob became tetraplegic in 2002 after breaking his neck in a car accident and later became a trustee of Spinal Research.
When his children moved away from home, Rob continued the fundraising tradition with the help of friends and volunteers.
The annual sale has since raised tens of thousands of pounds for the charity, which funds research into treatments for spinal cord injuries.
In 2025, the Christmas tree sales raised £18,488.
Norwegian spruce trees are traditionally available in a range of sizes, with the farm aiming to provide fresh trees throughout the festive season.
The team also works to make the experience festive for visitors, with Christmas music playing while customers choose their trees.
For every tree sold, two more are planted to help maintain the farm's Christmas tree stock.
The fundraising sale takes place at Lowfield Farm, Beamsley, BD23 6HN.
