- REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED -
Saturday 13th December: our first festive ride-out.
Picture it: a line of Land Rover Defenders and Series classics dressed head to toe in lights, garlands, and a healthy dose of Christmas sparkle, making their way through the Cotswolds to bring a little extra magic to the season.
It’s all about community, good food, and giving back, and we’re thrilled to be at the wheel.

Ready to join the convoy?
Registration is now open – simply complete the entry form to secure your place in the line-up.
Why
The convoy is more than a celebration. It’s a fundraiser for two charities close to our hearts:
Home-Start Cotswolds – supporting families with young children through challenging times, offering practical help and emotional support when it’s needed most.
RABI (Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution) – providing financial, practical, and emotional support to farming people across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Every pound raised will help bring warmth, comfort, and real change to people in our local and rural communities this Christmas.
How to take part
Whether you’re behind the wheel or cheering from the roadside, there’s a place for everyone in this convoy.
Drive in the convoy – £25 per vehicle

A small update
Some of you know our own Defender has gone a bit off-grid recently. Will it make it back in time to join the line-up? Who knows. Maybe the person who “borrowed” it will want to join in. Either way, the convoy will be rolling — and it’s going to be one to remember.
