By day, the Bridgestone Stage offers a more intimate setting than the Ducati Stage, giving you the chance to get to know some of motorcycling’s most inspiring adventurers a little better. Hosted by Simon and Lisa Thomas of 2 Ride The World fame, sessions here take the form of relaxed, informal conversations, with audience members often invited to ask questions and join the discussion.

This year, you’ll hear fascinating stories from the likes of Ted Simon, Chris Birch, Carl Fogarty, and Kirian Mirabet, among many others.

Get prepared for your next adventure with the experts in the field of motorcycle travel at the Himalayan Masterclass Stage.

Need tips on how to build an adventure bike fit for round-the-world travel? Want to know how much a year travelling on two wheels actually costs? Would you like to know how to successfully carry out a bike-to-bike tow? These are the sorts of topics covered on the Himalayan Masterclass Stage.

Hosted by Adventure Bike Rider magazine’s very own James Oxley, the Travellers’ Tent is the place to be if you have a thirst for adventure and a love of touring on two wheels.

Set in a Bedouin-style tent with furniture to match, it’s a calming space we’ve created to help your mind take flight while the world’s most seasoned traveller’s regale you with tales of their global biking adventures.

This is where you can catch up with the likes of Elspeth Beard, Lavi & Ollie, Lyndon Poskitt, and Jacopo Cerutti.

A brand-new addition to ABR Festival, the Helly Hansen Dome is the place to find inspiration for adventures beyond two wheels and into the mountains.

By day, fanatical adventurer and lifelong motorcyclist Dave Talbot hosts some of the biggest names in mountaineering, exploration and climbing. Hear from the likes of Alan Hinkes OBE, the first Briton to summit all 14 of the world’s 8,000m peaks, Sir John Blashford-Snell, who led the first vehicle crossing of the Darién Gap, and Kenton Cool, fresh from his 20th ascent of Mount Everest.

By night, the Helly Hansen Dome transforms into ABR Festival’s first-ever Karaoke Bar. Think full stage lighting, a giant glitter ball and a huge screen broadcasting your performance to a sea of festival-goers. It’s less Seven Stars and more Stars in Their Eyes.

Located on the Lakeside, next to the legendary Spada Bar and its two 40-foot-long bars, the BikerHeadz Stage is home to three unforgettable nights of fantastic live music, featuring some of the very best tribute and party bands around.

This year sees the return of festival favourites Let There B/DC, the acclaimed tribute to Aussie rock legends AC/DC, alongside Ben Portsmouth: This Is Elvis, starring the world’s number one Elvis tribute artist. Making their ABR Festival debut, Absolute Bowie will bring the many eras and personas of David Bowie to life in what promises to be one of the weekend’s standout performances.

When the talking is done and the chairs are packed away, the Bridgestone Stage comes alive with an eclectic mix of live music and entertainment. This year, performances include The All New Blues and Soul Revue, taking audiences on an electrifying journey through blues, rhythm & blues and soul, while Ibiza favourite DJ Krystal Roxx returns to deliver the finest Balearic beats late into the night.

Relive the spirit of the late 1960s and celebrate some of the most iconic music ever recorded with Hokum & Hooch, ABR Festival’s resident acoustic maestros. On Friday night, they’ll be joined by Generation Jones for a journey through the soundtrack of the Summer of Love, before returning on Saturday alongside Orange River Remedy for a full-blown Woodstock Revival.

You’ll also be treated to incredible vocal performances from Brave Rival and The Kate Bush Songbook.

The jewels in the crown of the ABR Festival, the Bridgestone Trail, the TRF Trail, and the Beginners’ Loop are laid out over 50km of the beautiful Ragley Hall Estate, allowing you to experience the thrill of riding off-road in countryside that is off-limits at any other time of the year. A Trail Access Pass is required to ride these, and they’ve now sold out.

If you’re new to life away from the tarmac, you’ll find opening times for free off-road skills sessions in the Phoenix Trails Trailing Zone here, plus details of TRF Green Line Ride-outs you can join.

Featuring heavyweights such as Chris Birch, Ken Roczen and Jacopo Cerutti, the GoPro Display Arena is the place to see the most talented riders in the world demonstrating just what can be achieved on two wheels.

The beautiful lake won’t just be a stunning backdrop for the Bridgestone and BikerHeadz Stages when the gates open. You’ll also be able to get out on the water by trying your hand at paddleboarding and kayaking at no extra cost.

Looking to sharpen your outdoor skills? The Bushcraft Area offers hands-on sessions covering everything from fire-lighting and shelter building to water purification and forest foraging. You can also join the Fell Foodie to discover how to create delicious meals in the great outdoors, using simple techniques and ingredients.

There’s plenty to discover inside Ragley Hall itself during the festival. Join a free guided tour of the magnificent home of the 9th Marquess of Hertford and uncover the history of one of Britain’s finest stately homes in the company of a knowledgeable guide.

Afterwards, explore the Adventure Photography Exhibition in the Great Hall, featuring stunning images captured by our guest speakers on their travels around the world. Or settle in for a screening at the Adventure Travel Film Festival in the Hertford Room, where some of the finest motorcycle and adventure travel documentaries ever made will be shown throughout the weekend.
