If you are looking for something free, fun and family-friendly to do this June, then Rallyfest 2011 could be for you. The event, the latest in a succession of promotional extravaganzas for Wales Rally GB, will take place at the Royal Welsh Showground, Builth Wells, on Saturday 4th June.

Rallyfest is being run in conjunction with the Severn Valley National Rally, which is also based at the showground on the same day. These two events will bring World Championship and British-based rally crews to mid-Wales for a day of action that will highlight the extended four-day itinerary of Wales Rally GB, which runs from 10th to 13th November 2011.

Over the course of the day, open from 11am to 6pm, visitors to Rallyfest will be treated to live demonstrations and static displays by a variety of National, Group B, Historic and Suzuki Swift Rallycross cars, as well as a show by one of Europe’s leading stunt drivers, Terry Grant. The Severn Valley National Rally top finishers will also take to the Rallyfest demonstration area at the close of the day.

World Rally Championship teams will be supporting the event with cars and drivers – and rally fans have the opportunity to get autographs signed throughout the day. Official merchandise and clothing from World Rally Championship teams and Wales Rally GB will also be on sale.

As well as the cars, there will be a wealth of entertainment for the whole family, including live music, local food and drink and face-painting. Gaming and software company, Codemasters, will be showcasing their brand new rallying game – Dirt 3 (released 24th May 2011) – for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, while Virtual Eventz will be providing driving simulators and Scalextric tracks for ‘wannabe’ rally fans and racers to have a go themselves.

Children’s entertainment will be provided by circus skills workshop company, Circus Dayze, and face-painting artist Looby-Lou, while Crazy Castle Hire will be bringing a bouncy castle to the event. While the kids have fun, adults can relax in the live music marquee with Birmingham-based Indie-rock band, The Breaking Ties, who will be previewing their new EP before its official launch on 3rd July.

Rallyfest 2011, supported by the Severn Valley National Rally, Powys Council and the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, is free to attend. The Royal Welsh Showground is easily accessible at the junction of two major trunk roads; the A470 and the A483.

Wales Rally GB 2011 will be run over four days and will start with a timed special stage around Llandudno’s Great Orme Toll Road on Thursday 10th November, taking in much of Wales, before finishing in Cardiff on Sunday 13th November.
