Hope Classic Rally
FRIDAY 27TH JUNE 2025
CELEBRATING OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY
The annual Hope Classic Rally IS A UNIQUE CLASSIC CAR EXPERIENCE AND FUNDRAISING INITIATIVE, WITH OVER £2M RAISED TO DATE.
Whether you’re a classic car enthusiast or novice, this is the experience for you.
Join us on Friday 27th June in your own classic car or get behind the wheel of one that has been loaned to us by UK owners and collectors. Together you will drive a stunning route through the Surrey countryside, followed by a sumptuous dinner, charity auction and overnight stay at Wotton House Country Estate Hotel.
Thanks to our partner, Ledmore, this year’s route will include a pit stop lunch at their state-of-the art facility in Dunsfold Park and a procession lap on the race track made famous by BBC’s Top Gear!
Profits from the day will fuel the transformational work of WeSeeHope, a charity lifting children out of extreme poverty across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Breakfast & Briefings
The day will begin with a welcome breakfast at Wotton House, where you can admire the stunning lineup of cars. If you’re driving one of the Hope Classic Rally classics, you’ll be introduced to your car for the day and receive a full technical briefing before getting behind the wheel.
Outbound Route
Once you cross the start line, you’ll embark on a scenic route carefully designed to let you fully appreciate and enjoy the car at its best. Our team of expert mechanics will be available throughout the day to offer support whenever needed.
Pit Stop Lunch
We will host a fabulous pit stop lunch thanks to our partner Ledmore at their state-of-the-art facility at Dunsfold, where you will be able to stretch your legs, take in the fantastic showcase of cars and reflect on your experience so far.
Return Route
As we depart Dunsfold, you’ll take a procession lap around the track made famous by BBC’s Top Gear, before heading back on the return leg to Wotton House. Once there, you’ll check into your room to freshen up and prepare for the exciting evening ahead.
Drinks Reception & Dinner
You’ll wrap up your day on the road with a hosted drinks reception in the hotel grounds, before moving inside for dinner. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to bid in our auction, all in support of WeSeeHope, and learn more about the positive impact your participation in the Rally has made.

THE DIFFERENCE
NO CHILD SHOULD LIVE IN EXTREME POVERTY, YET THIS IS THE REALITY FOR MORE THAN 200 MILLION CHILDREN ACROSS SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA.
Dedicated to lifting children out of extreme poverty, the charity WeSeeHope invests in community-led education and entrepreneurship initiatives to support lasting, transformational change.
A key part of their work is providing the financial literacy, business and community banking skills paretns and guardians need to kick-start their own enterprises and earn a sustainable incmoe for their families.
For every £1 WeSeeHope spends on training, equipment and resources, these entrepreneurs go on to generate £4; a fantastic return on investment.
We are incredibly proud to have raised over £2m for WeSeeHope since we started in 2015, helping thousands of entrepreneurs to start businesses and lift their children out of extreme poverty.
THE TEAM
We are led by a dedicated board of directors who have a shared love of classic cars and commitment to WeSeeHope.
They work together with a talented organising team and group of Ambassadors who donate their time and energy to ensure every guest has a truly memorable time.
