Our age old Farmyard Party mantra has always been, and will remain – For Bikers • By Bikers • In Aid of Biking.

If you cast your eyes across our 2 main camping felds, you will see that a vast majority of our attendees arrive on 2 wheels, but we welcome those on 4 or more that are no longer able to ride for one reason or another.
Motorcycles are an integral part or our entertainment, with our increasingly popular ol’ Peculier Ride In Bike Show on Saturday afternoon, and the recent introduction of our Vintage & Classic Motorcycles Marquee, nothing beats the cacophony of sound when the bikes are started up for your enjoyment.
Whether you arrive on your own, with a friend, an owners club or bike club, we guarantee you will have a weekend you will not forget.

If you love your bike, our judges might too. You never know you might even snag the “Best in Show” prize, earning you a magnificent glass trophy and £100 cash.

We all have friends, partners, or relatives curious about our legendary rally weekend adventures. They’ve often asked if they can come along to see what all the excitement is about.
Until now, our rules have made that tricky — unless they were willing to ride pillion, which isn’t always an option for everyone.
But now, things have changed! You as a motorcycle license holder, can purchase a ticket and vehicle pass for your friend, partner, or relative (plus their partners, if needed). This way, they can join you for a weekend filled with music, comedy, and a drink or two, all while getting a glimpse into the thrilling biking lifestyle we love so much.
Who knows? You might even inspire them to embrace two wheels themselves!
For booking details, call us on 0800 988 3199.
We, as organisers, and maybe like you, find that for one reason or another we can no longer ride as often as we would like, or in some cases not at all anymore.

Under our recently launched Bring a Buddy scheme, motorcyle licence holders may also purchase a vehicle pass on behalf of a non riding friend, partner or relative, up to 1 additional adult passenger per vehicle is permitted.
