Welcome to the Northern Rally 2026

The Ultimate Celebration of All Things Citroën.

This year promises to be our biggest and best Northern Rally yet! We are thrilled to invite you to our exciting new venue for a weekend dedicated to the cars we love.
Whether you are a solo enthusiast, a member of a car club, or bringing the whole family, there is something for everyone. We’ve curated a weekend that blends the traditional activities you’ve loved in years past with a host of exciting new ideas.

Marking the Milestones.
This year is extra special as we celebrate two major anniversaries including:

40 Years of the Citroën AX
30 Years of the Citroën Saxo

Come for the cars, stay for the community – and of course there will be cake. We can’t wait to see you there!
