Get ready for a classic Dorset summer weekend! The Purbeck Rally returns from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th August 2025, bringing three days of vintage excitement to Worgret Road, Wareham.

Established more than 50 years ago, the Purbeck Rally has grown from a modest gathering of vintage cars and tractors into one of Dorset’s most beloved annual events. Visitors can expect an impressive showcase of heritage vehicles — from gleaming buses and lorries to beautifully preserved tractors. The Craft Tent brims with local arts, crafts and handmade treasures, while the rally fields are dotted with diverse trade stalls and food vendors for every taste.

The Beer Tent adds extra cheer to the festivities, and music lovers won’t want to miss the evening entertainment on both Friday and Saturday nights (with tickets required for Saturday’s special event). On Sunday, start the day with a bustling Car Boot Sale (starts at 9am) — perfect for bargain hunters!

With fun for all ages, stunning countryside views, and a true sense of Dorset tradition, the Purbeck Rally is the perfect summer outing for families, vintage enthusiasts, and anyone looking to experience the best of rural community life.
