LOCAL BUSINESSES INVITED TO BE PART OF THE HILLS FORD STAGES RALLY FESTIVAL

We're inviting local businesses, independent traders, charities, community groups and motorsport suppliers to become part of something new this September.

Alongside the opening day of the Hills Ford Stages Rally at Weston Park, we're creating a brand-new Rally Festival – combining spectacular rally action with trade stands, local businesses, family attractions, our PATHWAYS education zone and DriveWise road safety initiative.

This isn't about creating another expensive trade event.

It's about building something that showcases the very best of Shropshire, supports local businesses and gives visitors a fantastic day out.

As a not-for-profit event, every trade stand contribution this year will go towards a special thank-you prize draw for the volunteer marshals and officials whose dedication makes the rally possible.

If you're a local retailer, craft business, vehicle specialist, motorsport supplier, charity or community organisation, we'd love to hear from you.

**Please note: We have an exclusive supplier of food for the event, so we may not be able to help in this area.

Marshals Giveaway Announced for 2026 Hills Ford Stages Rally
When planning the Hills Ford Stages Rally’s first visit to Shropshire, one thing was clear from the outset: the event depends entirely on the people who deliver it.

“No marshals, no rally” — it really is that simple.

Marshalling at a closed-road, national-level rally requires responsibility, commitment, and trust. In recognition of the time and experience given by marshals and officials, the event is introducing a dedicated thank-you initiative for 2026.

Working in partnership with Hills Ford, all marshals who register and complete their duties during the rally weekend will be entered into a prize draw to win one of two long-weekend campervan experiences.
Each full day of marshalling will count as one entry into the draw, meaning those supporting both days will have two chances to win.

In addition, marshals will receive exclusive goodie bags, with further prize draws taking place across the weekend.
This initiative is not about incentives, but about recognition — ensuring that those who contribute to delivering the rally feel valued and appreciated.

The event welcomes experienced marshals, those returning to the sport, and anyone interested in getting involved for the first time. Support will be available throughout, including guidance on roles, training, and connections with local motor clubs.

With places limited and strong early interest, marshals are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
