Rustival 4: 18th April 2026 - A fun day

[fatharris]

Some people consider it 'Paying to attend'

I consider it 'Paying for the REALLY convenient parking option - right next to the exhibits' 

Sadly I'm not able to attend this year due to work wiggling the bony finger at me again, but I'll be looking forward to the next one 😁🤞

[Sunny Jim]

I'm happy to co-ordinate a list and be a point of contact unless anyone else really wants to? Add your name below of you'd like to park up with other Shiters.

Just booked my ticket, I was going to take the ZT-T to Pride of Longbridge but unlikely to fix it before then so meh

@Sunny Jim Are you coming in the Grim Sleeper and bringing Cuthbert? I am coming in the XJR and shall probably bring Rose as dogs are allowed in the grounds and I don't mind not being able to go inside the museum.

[motorpunk]

I’ll probably be there and may be on stage with a book to talk about and some banter, not sure what car I’ll be in. One thing I’d say about meets is it’s hard to know who is who, I have no clue what most folks look like!

That's the plan at this stage. Be good to see you both.

Bugger, I’m away in Durham that weekend.  Gaydon still on my to do list.  Been to bike days there a couple of times but never done the museum.  Really must get a day over there at some point.  Need a camp site nearby to take our moho over and make a weekend of it.

Just booked after forgetting to do so! Happy to be annoying and park my shite next to other shite.

I do need to bring the 205 to this, bust sadly 18th April is wife's birthday weekend and we are planning time away. I doubt she'd find a day looking at cars for her birthday an interesting day out.

@dollywobbler @Idriveaclassic if you are planning an autumn one this year I'll try my best!

Classic Ford magazine giving Rustival some publicity this month.

[Schaefft]

Haven't bought my ticket yet but I'm likely to be there.

[Sunny Jim]

Any news on when you'll need numbers by if a group of us want to park up together please @dollywobbler?

[dollywobbler]

Haven't announced it yet but it'll be 18th March, so one month before. Ta.

[alcyonecorporation]

I will try, but I may have to work.

[wesacosa]

I wondered if its worth changing the title of the thread to recognise we are looking to try and get people interested in a specific AS stand and pinning it?  Would be good to have good representation for the group and a chance to meet up with others which is generally difficult at a show like this with so much to see/people not spending much time at their own cars

suppose It cant hurt to ask, is anyone able to bring along a Mobility scooter I could borrow/appropriate on the day?

[Sunny Jim]

Sorry @LightBulbFun, I don't have access to a mobility scooter. I assume the chairs they have are manual rather than electric but it might be worth an email/phone call.

Wheelchairs

A limited number of wheelchairs are available free of charge from the Museum Pay Desk. If you require a wheelchair for your visit we recommend you contact us to check availability on 01926 895300 or email [email protected]. We can then reserve the wheelchair once we have confirmation that you have purchased your ticket. Visitors are welcome to request a wheelchair upon arrival but we cannot guarantee one will always be available.
