Supporting Buttle UK Children’s Charity

Calling all thrill-seekers and car enthusiasts! It’s time to fuel your passion for adventure and philanthropy as entries are officially open for the highly anticipated Italian Job charity driving experience across Italy in 2024.

This iconic event, dedicated to raising vital funds for Buttle UK – a charity committed to assisting children and young people in the UK facing crises and financial hardship – invites participants to embark on a thrilling journey through Rome and Lazio from Saturday, September 28th to Monday, October 7th, 2024.

Whether you’re behind the wheel of a classic Mini or any other vintage vehicle featured in the original 1969 film, such as Aston Martins, E-Types, or Lamborghini Miuras, The Italian Job welcomes all to join in this extraordinary adventure for a meaningful cause.

The Italian Job 2024 promises an unparalleled experience, blending the excitement of a driving extravaganza with the rich culture, gastronomy, and wines of the region. Participants will follow a meticulously planned Road Book, guiding them through an enchanting itinerary of Rome and its picturesque surroundings.

The adventure begins with a fully escorted service van route through France, with overnight stops in Tours, Grenoble, and La Spezia, before officially commencing the challenge on Tuesday, October 1st, at Janiculum Hill. From there, participants will embark on a convoy to the Crowne Plaza Hotel, their base for the next six days.

Following The Italian Job Road Book, each day presents opportunities to explore different areas of Lazio, uncovering local producers, vineyards, and ancient wine-making techniques, all while raising crucial funds for Buttle UK.

Highlights of the adventure include visits to Roman castles, authentic non-tourist areas of Ciociaria, and leisure days to marvel at the wonders of Rome. The journey also encompasses excursions to Rieti, Lake Bolsena, Civita, and more, promising unforgettable experiences at every turn.

Participants are encouraged to fundraise at least £1,500, with the inclusive package priced at £1360 for two people sharing a twin or double bedroom. This package covers return crossings to and from Calais, accommodations at the 4-star Crowne Plaza Hotel, meals, visits, tastings, excursions, and more, ensuring a seamless and enriching adventure for all.

Freddie St. George, Co-Founder of The Italian Job charity event, expressed his enthusiasm for the event, stating: “Every mile driven, every sight seen, and every donation raised contributes to making a difference in the lives of vulnerable children. The Italian Job epitomizes social motoring at its finest, and I cannot wait to meet this year’s teams.”
