The countdown to the ABR Festival 2024 is well and truly on, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the magnificent Ragley Hall Estate this June. Below is the official ABR Festival map to get you in the mood and help you plan your weekend.
From 27-30 June, Ragley Hall will be transformed into an adventure and trail riding paradise with over 40km of on-site trails, every major motorcycle manufacturer, over 100 exhibitors, four guest speaker stages, two live music stages, a rider display arena, and much more.
We’ve released this year’s ABR Festival map early to showcase the wide array of activities on offer and help you start planning your weekend with us. The Ragley Hall Estate is huge, so knowing the lay of the land before you arrive is a wise move!

On the map you’ll see the beating heart of the ABR Festival, the Adventure Arena. For 2024, this has grown now to cover two areas: Lakeside and the Polo Field. On Lakeside, you’ll find all your evening entertainment, the majority of caterers, the BikerHeadz live music stage, the Bridgestone Stage, and a number of manufacturers.
The Polo Field is where you’ll want to be in the day. It’s where you’ll find the Main Speaker Stage, the Himalayan Masterclass Stage, the ABR Magazine Traveller’s Stage, over 100 exhibitors, and many more manufacturers.
Both the Polo Field and Lakeside will be well serviced with posh toilets and bars, as well as a grand total of 12 Spada Bars (including the main 40m-long bar in the marquee by the BikerHeadz Stage), where you’ll be able to grab a refreshing pint of something cold.
Up at the hall, there’ll be guided tours of Ragley Hall itself while you’ll also be able to immerse yourself in the amazing ABR Photography Exhibition, a display of stunning imagery from renowned world travellers. Outside the hall will be a fascinating motorcycle display area, where we’ll be bringing together amazing bikes of new and old to oggle over.
Down in the GoPro Arena, in the bottom right of the map, you can bear witness to thrilling displays from some of the world’s best adventure bike riders. Here, the likes of Chris Birch, Geoff Walker, Adam Reimann, and Dylan and Rowan Jones will be putting on a show to remember as they tackle the GoPro Arena on an array of adventure bikes, doing things that shouldn’t be possible on such large machines.
In the Phoenix Trails Off-Road Training Zone you’ll be able to take your riding to the next level with free off-road training sessions from the world’s leading off-road skills schools, while the Muc-Off Bike Wash will be on hand to hose you and your bike down after a day of fun on the trails.
The camping for this year’s festival will be split across three fields. Starting with the VIP Field at the top left of the map, Thursday VIP Ticket holders can set up camp from Thursday onwards. Conveniently located near the Polo Field and all the daytime activities, the VIP Field will only be accessible by those with a VIP Pass. It will be well-serviced with posh toilets, hot showers, and Mitas PitStops for your free morning brew.
West Park is the huge, beautiful field behind Ragley Hall. This is where general camping is. Any weekend ticket holders (including Thursday VIPs) can camp in West Park, and, like everywhere else in the festival, it will be well-serviced with posh toilets, hot showers, and Mitas PitStops for your free morning tea or coffee.
At the bottom of the map, in Paynes Close, you’ll find Glamping, Beach Huts, Pre-Pitched Tents, and VIP Campervan Camping. Surrounded by woodland on two sides and the lake on another, Paynes Close is a beautiful field to set up your base. Again, you’ll find plenty of showers and toilets here and your free morning cuppa.
Here’s some of what you can expect to find in the Adventure Arena at this year’s ABR Festival.
BikerHeadz Stage
While riding is at the heart of the ABR Festival, having a great time out of the saddle is just as important.
That’s why the BikerHeadz Stage will be the centre of the festival’s live music experience, packed with a line-up of the UK’s best tribute and party bands.
Expect everything from epic rock and roll anthems to relaxing acoustic performances. Whatever is playing, we promise it will be the perfect soundtrack for a truly unforgettable weekend.
See which bands are playing HERE.
On-Site Trails
On the Bridgestone Trail, you can weave your way through 30km of uninterrupted big-bike-friendly trails over open grasslands, secluded wooded sections, and sweeping gravel roads. Whether you’re a greenlaning veteran or simply curious about giving it a go, there’s no better place to be. Enduro bikes are not permitted on the Bridgestone Trail and there are strict no racing rules in force.
The Beginner’s Trail, located at the start of the Bridgestone Trail, is the perfect place to get yourself introduced to riding off-road before heading onto the longer trails. Think of it like a green slope at a ski resort – it’s gentle, easy, and there are no egos.
If you like more challenging terrain, the TRF Trail is the place to be. For bikes with off-road focussed tyres (50/50 or more), you’ll find steep descents, water crossings, the Bog of Doom, the Swamp of Doom, and many more fun features to ride.
Find out more HERE. Please note, you need a Trail Access Pass to ride the on-site trails, these have now sold out.
Main Speaker Stage
Here, you’ll find the biggest names in adventure biking, giving you the inside scoop on their travels and riding careers. It’s the perfect place to get inspiration for your next big adventure from those who have been there and done it.
On hosting duties is seasoned bike traveller and hugely entertaining Billy Ward.

Bridgestone Stage
Pull up a chair, relax and get to know your favourite bikers in a more intimate setting.
Plenty of big names will appear, from world travellers to renowned authors to competition champions to YouTube stars – biking inspiration by the bucketload.
