Club National Rally 2026

Hose Village Hall, near Melton Mowbray

Fri 22nd May through to Sat 30th May 2026 (8 nights, £20 pupn)

Located in the Vale of Belvoir, the village of Hose offers a quiet, understated alternative to busier touring destinations. It is a location defined by wide Leicestershire views and a slower pace, making it an ideal spot for those who value peace and privacy.

Despite its secluded feel, Hose is practically positioned for exploring the East Midlands. The Grantham Canal is nearby for easy walking, while the historic Belvoir Castle and the market towns of Melton Mowbray and Bingham are all within a short drive. Whether you’re visiting for the local heritage and artisan food or simply looking for a well-connected base in the countryside, Hose provides the right balance of tranquility and convenience.

Please book early so we can know numbers and confidently book entertainment. We’ve also got a private tour of one of the world’s last remaining Bell Foundries. Numbers are limited for that and we need to pre book – don’t leave booking too late.

We’re planning on having a raffle drawn at the Monday coffee morning. If you have any unwanted Christmas Gifts that could be suitable as prizes please consider laying these aside and donating them for the raffle.

You need to be a member to attend. Apply to Join here (£20 for the year)
