Canaryball Rally is back for its third year, and we are looking for teams to join us on an epic European driving challenge this October.
Explore Europe’s most scenic landscapes on this once-in-a-lifetime journey which covers 2300 miles across five countries, including Austria and Belgium. If you’re a car enthusiast and fancy making everlasting memories, then this challenge is for you.
To secure your team’s car you will need to pay a £250 deposit. As a team you will then be required to raise a minimum of £2,500 and cover costs per person of approx. £500.*
*Additional costs will include but not limited to fuel, euro tunnel and food.
The proposed route is circa 2,300 miles around Europe. The route will start and finish at The Nest and will travel through France, Italy, Austria, Germany, and Belgium.
Please note: This is the recommended route. Hotels on each day will be based on this route, however if there is somewhere specific you would like to visit, this will be at your discretion.
There is no entry fee as this is a self-funded event. However, a £250 non-refundable deposit per team is required on booking to secure your place. This will then be deducted from your accommodation costs. Other costs will include (but are not limited to) fuel, Euro tunnel, and food.
As a team, you will be required to raise a minimum of £2,500.

For this years’ rally, we are proud to be partnering up with Oyster Travel.
We have been working closely with the team at Oyster Travel for advice on the best accommodation options based on the route suggested.
Once you have booked onto the rally, Sophie & Vicky from Oyster Travel will work with you to book your accommodation and any additional requirements you may want at each of your hotels.
We will be holding a Gala Dinner on the final evening of the rally. This is a great chance to look back on the challenge and more importantly, the winners of the rally will be announced and presented with their prize.
We are in the process of securing sponsors to help subsidise the cost of this event. If you know anyone who would be keen to come on board, please contact us.
No rally would be complete without the number signage of the cars!
We are extremely grateful once again for the support of Signs Express, who have agreed to provide the car numbers. Once you have signed your car up, you will be allocated a number for the rally. If there is a specific number you would like, then please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.
A great way of securing sponsorship for the rally is to reach out to companies that would be prepared to donate in return for their logo on your car. For an additional fee, Signs Express can help you out. Please let us know if you would like to be in put in touch.
There will be plenty of opportunities to get together between now and the rally in October.
You can look forward to things like information evenings, a quiz, and a media day, plus an opportunity to meet some of the individuals your money raised will be helping.
If you have any questions in the lead up to the event, please email us at [email protected].
