It is with deep regret that the committee organising the Newbury Radio Rally have no choice but to CANCEL the Newbury Radio Rally that was scheduled for the 6th of July 2025.

Following a recent announcement by the Highways Agency about major new road works, we have been forced into this decision by the full weekend closure of the main access route to the Newbury Showground from the A34 and M4. The A34 resurfacing work closes both the A34 northbound, and the local road leading to the showground, from the Friday night to the following Monday morning. This significantly impacts everyone who wanted to attend the rally regardless of which direction you approach the showground.

The Highways Agency official diversion routes involve very lengthy and impractical diversions and are totally unsuitable for showground users.

We have been working extensively with both the Highways Agency and the Newbury Showground management team to find a workable solution but have been unable to.

This is the first time in the 38-year history of the rally that we have had to cancel the event after it had been organised.

We must sincerely apologise for the disappointment this will cause and look forward to seeing you at the Newbury Radio Rally in 2026.
