See the new CUPRA Raval and limited-run Formentor VZ5 at the SEATCUPRA.NET National Meet in Nantwich, with around half of the 50 available spaces already taken.

The SEATCUPRA.NET National Meet returns on Sunday 23 August 2026, with the new CUPRA Raval and a limited-run Formentor VZ5 confirmed as show cars and around half of the available vehicle spaces already filled.

Open to all SEAT and CUPRA owners, whether their cars are standard, modified, new or old, this year’s event will be held at Nantwich Town Football Club thanks to the support of our sponsor, Swansway Motor Group SEAT & CUPRA.

The venue has space for up to 50 vehicles, with owners travelling from across the country to meet fellow members, see a wide range of cars and enjoy a relaxed day with the SEATCUPRA.NET community.

Event details

  • Date: Sunday 23 August 2026
  • Time: 10:30am to 2:30pm
  • Location: Nantwich Town Football Club, The Swansway Stadium, Waterlode, Nantwich, CW5 5BS
  • Capacity: Maximum of 50 vehicles

The club’s outdoor bar and diner will be open during the event, with breakfast items available until midday, followed by burgers and chips from 12 noon.

We will also have SEATCUPRA.NET merchandise available, along with prizes, trophies and giveaways during the day.

CUPRA Raval and Formentor VZ5 on display

We will be bringing two particularly interesting CUPRA models for attendees to see.

These will include the new CUPRA Raval and a limited-run 2.5L CUPRA Formentor VZ5 , giving visitors the opportunity to get a closer look at two very different sides of the CUPRA range.

The Raval is one of the most important new models in CUPRA’s history and brings the brand into the compact electric car market.

At the other end of the spectrum, the five-cylinder Formentor VZ5 remains one of the most distinctive and desirable performance cars CUPRA has produced.

Both cars should be a major draw for attendees, particularly for anyone who has not yet had the chance to see the Raval in person.

The highly serious SEATCUPRA.NET awards

No national meet would be complete without some suitably prestigious recognition.

Our finest plastic trophies will be awarded in the following categories:

  • Cleanest car
  • Dirtiest car
  • Oldest car
  • Favourite car
  • Lowest car
  • Loudest cold start

The winners will be selected during the event, so there is still plenty of time to polish your car, avoid washing it completely or work out exactly where you stand in the other categories.

A static and family-friendly meet

As with all SEATCUPRA.NET events, this is a strictly static meet.

Antisocial driving or behaviour will not be accepted upon arrival at the venue, during the event, or when leaving.

We want the meet to remain safe, relaxed and enjoyable for attendees, local residents and the venue.

How to reserve your place

Attendance is free, but places must be confirmed in advance because the event is capped at 50 vehicles.

We are already into the upper twenties, so anyone planning to attend should add their name and vehicle to the confirmed attendance list as soon as possible.

You can confirm your attendance here:

Confirm your place at the SEATCUPRA.NET National Meet 2026

Please include the car you are bringing. Also mention if you have already confirmed through Instagram or one of the Facebook groups so we do not count you twice.

We hope to see as many of you as possible at Nantwich on 23 August.

Very interested subject to not being on holiday.

I would also add that back in the day when we did these things for those with longer journeys we would all end up staying in the same hotel so the party (well talking about cars anyway) carried on.

Afternoon all,

It's been a while since we had a forum meetup, children, cars and everything else in between has got in the way from my end but we're slowly getting back into it.

We've been in touch with our Forum sponsor CUPRA Oldham (part of the Swansway Motor Group) and they've managed to get a location for a meet, the location is just west of Stoke on Trent at the Nantwich Town Football Club, they have kindly agreed that we can use their car park for the meet-up whilst also opening their outdoor bar and diner so there would be food and drink available for attendees.

The club also mentioned they could also potentially have a family fun day on the same day

Date is still being discussed *

It sounds like there could be a good opportunity to align both events and potentially create a larger combined day out for the Car people and their families.

What are everyone's thoughts on the Location, joining in with another event (family fun day) and potentially having some classic tiny plastic trophies for the cleanest, dirtiest, first to arrive, Last to arrive and Favourite car of the day.

Thoughts and feedback welcome

Please select your opinion in the poll :) (Only open for 14 days) and also post below so we can keep people updated / see feedback etc.

Cheers

Simon
Tiny plastic trophies??
Where have the bespoke models gone? :ROFLMAO:
Guessing the joys of family life got in the way?
 
It’s been a long time since we had a meet. I’m 50/50 given the distance, but will certainly keep an eye on developments here.
Still got one of the trophies!!😂

It sounds brilliant & I'd really love to go, but I think the 3 hour drive there might just be too much for me. (I would have to come in the Ibiza too 😞).
Hope it all goes well though & more peeps sign up 😎

I know I would by no means be the furthest away, but if you were sporting those original trophies, I would have to get there, even trailer BadBoy if I had to 😉🏆
P.S I'm with you on the music & driving, ultimate contentment 😎
