The East Riding Stages Rally will bring together rally enthusiasts, families, and the community for an unforgettable day’s motorsport in Beverley town centre.
This year's event not only promises high-octane excitement but also offers a unique opportunity to explore the historic town of Beverley and the natural beauty of Beverley Westwood.

The Visit East Yorkshire FanZone
Located at the heart of the action, the FanZone offers spectators the opportunity to get up close with the rally cars and their drivers.
Set against the backdrop of Beverley, a town renowned for its stunning Minster, historic buildings, and vibrant market, the FanZone brings motorsport directly to the community and visitors. Located in Beverley's charming Saturday Market, the FanZone is designed to bring fans closer to the action, offering insights into the world of rallying and providing a memorable experience for the whole family.
Unmissable Action at The Westwood
The highlight of this year’s rally, the Westwood Superspecial Stage, is just a short distance from Beverley Saturday Market.
The spectator stage allows fans to witness high-speed excitement and skilful driving in a stunning natural setting, all within a stone's throw of Beverley town centre.
The Westwood, an iconic area of common land on the edge of Beverley is known for its expansive pastures, historic landmarks, and free-roaming cattle. The area Westwood transforms into a thrilling motorsport arena for the day, allowing spectators to enjoy the rally action amidst one of Yorkshire's most scenic landscapes.
Â
The rally will be supported by the HEY! Volunteers, who will be on hand to ensure visitors have a safe and enjoyable experience, providing information, guidance, and assistance throughout the day. Look out for the blue-clad volunteers who will be there to answer your questions and guide you along the pedestrian route between Saturday Market and the Westwood.
The cars will assemble in Saturday Market from 08:30 on Sunday 25 February, with the first of 150 competing cars flagged away from the ceremonial start in the Visit East Yorkshire FanZone at 09:00.
A short walk away, the rally action will be fast and furious on the Westwood Superspecial, as competitors tackle the stage at 30 second intervals, starting at 12:23pm.
Northside Truck & Van EV Shuttle Service
To help make the East Riding Stages Rally inclusive and accessible for all, we are excited to introduce a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) Mercedes shuttle bus service, thanks to our sponsors Northside Mercedes Truck & Vans.

The eco-friendly transportation option underscores our commitment to sustainability and inclusivity. The shuttle service will provide easy access between the FanZone and the Westwood Superspecial spectator stage, offering a comfortable and convenient way for fans to experience the thrill of the rally, even if they have mobility challenges. Unfortunately the shuttle can't accommodate wheelchair users, but access between the FanZone and the Westwood Superspecial Stage is step-free, and we can make parking arrangements closer to the Westwood for wheelchair users on request.
