The Kirkwood Rally - Driving For a Cause
Join us on Saturday 6th June, for a relaxed daytime event in Kirklees, set right at the heart of where The Kirkwood provides care. Designed to be fully accessible and not weather dependent, it’s an event everyone can enjoy.
You’ll cover around 70 miles within the Kirklees area, following clues to guide you to each destination. Along the way, take in the beautiful countryside, towns and villages right on your doorstep.
Throughout the day, you’ll be encouraged to collect evidence of your completed destinations, so don’t forget to take photos! There will be a range of prizes up for grabs, with trophies awarded at the finish line, all in good fun.
It’s not a race, so no need to worry about speed, just enjoy the journey. With a great selection of food available throughout the day, and each car uniquely numbered, you can relax and take pride in driving for a great cause.

From bangers to Bentleys (and everything in between), everyone is invited to join the fun. We’ll provide each car with a pair of numbered vinyl decals so you can be easily identified as part of the event.
