About VW Car Rally at Stonor Park
A much-loved fixture in the automotive calendar returns to the rolling Oxfordshire countryside as the VW Car Rally 2026 brings together enthusiasts, families and collectors for a relaxed, festival-style celebration of Volkswagen heritage.
Set within the historic grounds of Stonor Park, the event showcases everything from immaculately restored Beetles and split-screen Campervans to rare air-cooled classics and contemporary VW models. It’s a gathering defined as much by community spirit as by chrome and engineering.
A celebration of Volkswagen culture
Expect a vibrant field filled with colour, character and conversation as owners proudly display their vehicles across the estate. Whether you’re a lifelong VW devotee or simply after a laid-back family day out, the rally offers an accessible and welcoming atmosphere.
Highlights include:
- A large-scale display of classic and modern Volkswagen vehicles
- Informal concours entries and enthusiast showcases
- Family-friendly picnic spaces across the parkland
- A curated selection of food and drink vendors
- Easy walking routes through landscaped grounds and open countryside
Camping under the stars
For those looking to extend the experience, on-site camping is available on Saturday 30 May 2026, turning the rally into a full weekend escape.
Arrive from noon and settle into a relaxed evening among fellow enthusiasts, with facilities including running water and portable toilets. Wake up surrounded by classic VWs before the main event begins the following morning.
