Two Days of Flat out Rally Action

Experience the Hills Ford Stages Rally Festival

Get ready for an unforgettable day as the Hills Ford Stages Rally Festival comes to Shropshire on Saturday 19 September.

The excitement begins with the Ceremonial Start in Shrewsbury town centre, where fans can get up close to around 150 rally cars before they head to the historic surroundings of Weston Park for an afternoon of spectacular motorsport.

But this is much more than a rally.

Weston Park will come alive with a Rally Festival featuring local traders, food and refreshments, interactive displays, the PATHWAYS – Discover Motorsport education zone, the DriveWise road safety experience and opportunities to discover how you can become part of motorsport as a marshal, official or volunteer.

Arrive early to make the most of everything on offer, explore the festival, find the perfect viewing spot and enjoy up to five hours of almost non-stop rally action as competitors tackle four exciting stages, including the spectacular Weston Park Water Splash.

Whether you're a lifelong rally enthusiast or looking for a fantastic family day out, the Hills Ford Stages Rally Festival offers an unforgettable blend of speed, spectacle and entertainment in one of Britain's most iconic parkland settings.

Book your tickets in advance and be part of one of the UK's newest and most exciting rally festivals.
