Rallyfest extravaganza comes to streets of Cardiff!
Updated 3 November
2011 sees Wales Rally GB bring the Rallyfest celebration to Cardiff.
Rallyfest will take place in and around the iconic Cardiff Castle from Thursday 10 to Sunday 13 November.
There will be displays in the Castle moat from Thursday 10 November prior to the main action on High Street and St Mary Street from approximately midday on Saturday 12 November. Here, a variety of motorsport related entertainment for younger visitors will feature, amongst other attractions:
- Titan the Robot
- Racing Challenge from Peter Johnson Entertainments
- The Racing Bug www.theracingbug.co.uk
- BMX stunt display from Inspire Promotions www.inspirepromotions.net
- Bread & Butter Theatre company sports walkabout see breadandbuttertheatre.co.uk
- Cardiff mini club - minimum 6 car display
From approximately 18:30 on Saturday evening, following grueling action in the forests of north and mid Wales, the battle-weary crews and cars will arrive on St Mary Street, before entering High Street. Cars will head up High Street, where they will pause for interviews, before turning in front of the castle for some great photo opportunities. They will then make their way to Parc Fermé - the technical area (where no work on the cars is allowed) for the cars to be left overnight - in the castle grounds. Cardiff Castle is also the location for Parc Ferme on Friday night.
Cardiff Castle will host a series of attractions on Saturday evening from 18:45, including an autograph session with leading drivers from 19:00-20:00 in the castle's Interpretation Centre. There will also be a big screen and stage featuring interviews, a DJ spinning some tunes and an auction of motorsport memorabilia by the Richard Burns Foundation.
Spectator entry to Cardiff Rallyfest and Cardiff Castle will be free.
