Nr ShifnalHills Ford Stages Rally Festival Comes to Weston Park to bigin a weekend of rally
10:00 - 19:00 19th September 2026
More InformationOne of Shropshire's newest sporting events roars into life on Saturday 19 September as the inaugural Hills Ford Stages Rally Festival arrives at Weston Park.
The Rally Festival forms the opening day of the Hills Ford Stages Rally weekend, beginning with the ceremonial start in Shrewsbury before around 150 rally crews head to Weston Park to tackle four spectacular special stages, including the famous Weston Park Water Splash, with almost five hours of thrilling rally action.
There's much more than motorsport too. Visitors can enjoy local trade stands, food and refreshments, family attractions, the PATHWAYS – Discover Motorsport education zone, the DriveWize road safety initiative, and opportunities to meet the volunteers who make rallying possible.
The rally continues on Sunday 20 September with a full day of closed-road competition across five stages in South Shropshire, each run twice, as crews battle for overall victory. This year's event welcomes competitors from eight rally championships, featuring everything from iconic historic rally cars to the very latest Rally2 machinery. Several championships feature double-header rounds, while others reach their season finale at the Hills Ford Stages, where national championship titles will be decided.
As a not-for-profit event, spectator parking at Weston Park is managed by local charities and community groups, with all parking donations going directly to support their work.
Advance tickets are available for the Weston Park Rally Festival on Saturday 19 September. Sunday's closed-road rally uses separate spectator viewing areas, with parking available at designated locations. Details of spectator areas and parking for Sunday will be published closer to the event on the Hills Ford Stages website and Facebook page.

at Hermon Chapel
OswestryLights Out Events - Present Berlinda O'Hooley
20:00 - 22:30 24th September 2026
More InformationLights Out Events are pleased to be hosting Belinda O’Hooley, a renowned pianist, singer and composer, probably best known as one half of O’Hooley & Tidow, who rose to international prominence for writing and performing the theme to the hit TV series Gentleman Jack(which also led to an acting role for Belinda on the iconic TV drama Happy Valley). Formerly a member of Rachel Unthank and the Winterset (now The Unthanks), Belinda has performed with her partner Heidi Tidow to a very appreciative audience at the Hermon Chapel before in 2018. Drawing on her heritage in the west of Ireland, Belinda’s music showcases her unique ,minimalist and deeply expressive style. The first woman in her family to reclaim a previously all-male tradition, she has found the freedom to interpret the music of her ancestors in her very own, singular way.
Belinda is also known for her inventive, minimalist, sometimes flamboyant accompanying of folk luminaries including Rufus Wainwright and Nic Jones. It promises to be a great night's entertainment. -

More Information🧭 Navigation Course (Beginner Friendly)
A one-day course designed to help you build confidence in the outdoors and start navigating for yourself — without relying on apps, guesswork, or blind optimism 😏Do you love getting out for a walk but don’t quite feel confident heading out solo? Maybe you follow routes on an app or a guidebook but aren’t sure how to properly read a map or use a compass?
This course is here to change that. By the end of the day, you’ll have the skills (and confidence) to start making your own decisions out on the hill — and actually trust them.
📍 Location: Carding Mill Valley, Long Mynd
We’ll be based in the beautiful Carding Mill Valley, right on the edge of the Long Mynd — a perfect setting to learn navigation with a mix of open hills, clear features, and plenty of real-life terrain to practise in.🧭 What You’ll Learn
We’ll keep things simple, practical, and hands-on:Understanding maps and scales
Making sense of map symbols
Taking grid references
Orientating the map properly
Measuring distance and estimating timings
Planning and following a simple route
The basics of using a compass
What to pack for a day out
What to do if things don’t quite go to plan
👣 What to Expect
We’ll start indoors at the café, then head straight out to put everything into practice on the hill.No pressure, no overwhelm — just learning by doing, with plenty of support along the way.
Expect a relaxed, friendly group and lots of “that actually makes sense now” moments.
⏰ Timings (Approx.)
10:00 AM – Meet at the National Trust café, welcome & intro. Grab a coffee/some breakfast and make yourselves comfy.10:15 AM – 11:45 PM – Indoor session (navigation basics & theory)
