Event in 2 months
The Lombard Rally Festival comes to Floors Castle on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October 2026, bringing two days of historic rally cars, legendary machinery and live motorsport action to the Scottish Borders.
Celebrating rally cars from the 1960s through to more recent eras, the festival gives visitors the chance to see an impressive selection of historic cars doing what they were built to do. Rather than a competitive rally, the event features demonstration runs on a specially constructed, period-style rally stage within the grounds of Floors Castle.
The stage begins on tarmac before switching to gravel and returning to tarmac, giving spectators the chance to experience the sights and sounds of historic rallying against the spectacular backdrop of the Castle and Estate. Dedicated spectator areas will provide views of the stage and its opening corners, with additional viewing areas opposite the Castle.
Between runs, get a closer look at the cars and enjoy interviews with rally drivers and personalities from the sport’s past. On Sunday, there will also be a static classic and sports car show, adding even more for motoring enthusiasts to explore.
