Woodvale International Rally

Gearing Up For Another Fun Filled Rally

Organisers of the Woodvale International Rally have just announced details of this years' event and have confirmed that the popular public camping is to return.

Camping facilities were withdrawn last year but are back for the August 1st and 2nd show after the introduction of extra security.

Plans are revving up for another fun filled rally with a wide range of attractions and displays to entertain visitors this summer.

Now in its 38th year, the rally at RAF Woodvale continues to go from strength to strength attracting more than 50,000 people every year.

This year as a result of the current climate show organisers have taken extra measures to ensure that visitors have an affordable weekend by reducing ticket prices and providing more free attractions for children.

Also new this year is a Motorbike Display Area featuring vintage and classics through to modern motorbikes as well as two displays on both days from famous stunt rider Neil Porter.

The model railway layout will also be bigger this year. The portable track of the Gauge One Model Railway Society will see working engines powered by steam they wont tho, generated from coal, methylated spirit and gas.

The rally offers visitors a spectacle of events and activities from its renowned Model Aero Show and Vintage and Classic Car Rally to a colourful kite festival, Morris dancing, country market, autojumble, car boot sale and craft fair.

Peter Wood, Rally Manager, said: "This years' show promises to be bigger than ever with entertainment for all members of the familly. With everyone feeling the pinch at the moment we have reduced the ticket prices and introduced more free attractions for children. Together with the new features this year the rally will be a great weekend for all"
