2. Bridgestone Campfire Stage

Pull up a haybale and get to know your favourite two-wheeled adventurers in an intimate setting. Once the sun goes down, the fire will be lit, and yarns will be spun into the night as the sun sets over the grounds of Ragley Hall.

3. ABR Masterclass Stage

Get prepared for your next adventure with the experts in the field of motorcycle travel at the Masterclass Stage. Learn everything from which kind of jacket to take with you, how to pack for lightweight travel, the ins and outs of travelling to ‘code red’ destinations, and how to make better bike videos without spending a penny…

If camping ain’t your thing, then you’ll be glad to know that there are literally hundreds of accommodation options within 15 miles of the venue and the popular tourist town of Stratford upon Avon is just down the road.

4. ABR Stage

Bikes may have brought us together, but the dance floor is where the real bonding happens.

Live music is a huge part of any festival atmosphere and this year the ABR Festival is bringing you everything from epic rock anthems to acoustic favourites to form the soundtrack to a truly unforgettable weekend.

5. Adventure Travel Film Festival

Come and check out some epic biking films which are guaranteed to inspire you for your next trip, including exploring backcountry Oregon, tackling the Road of Bones in Siberia, crossing the Sahara in Mauritania, and riding from Alaska to Argentina.

6. Bridgestone Trail / TRF Trail

Explore the 30km big-bike friendly Bridgestone Trail. Winding it’s way through the magnificent grounds of the Ragley Hall Estate, it’s perfect for all riding abilities. We promise there is no better place for you to be.

Or, if you’re after a tougher riding challenge, you’ll want to head to the TRF Trail. Here you’ll find a series of craters, hill climbs, water crossings, and more technical terrain that will test your off-road skills.

And here’s everything else…

There’ll be so much for you to see and do across the weekend from guided greenlane ride outs and manufacturer test rides to axe throwing and shopping the latest gear. See what’s on across the weekend HERE.
