ABR Festival 2026
Jump to: Newest in thread
If you’ve not been before then you’ll most likely enjoy it.
If you have, then whilst you’ll have seen it grow exponentially since the first one post Covid - you’ll also have seen it deteriorate.
It’s now all about the £ not the people.
4 times the size with the same infrastructure.
We’re attending 3 others through the year for the same amount of money as ABR. |

Totally agree. Such a shame we got asked what ABR actually stands for by a couple of d*unk teenagers at the last one. And the amount of poor dogs getting dragged around in the sun and heat is really upsetting. |

I've not been before but bought a ticket quite cheaply at a charity auction so have added a Thursday ticket to it to extend the weekend. I'm quite keen to make the most of it and have been watching quite a few videos to see what is on offer. Test rides on a few bikes, off road training, paddle boarding and bushcraft training are top of my list. Since these are all included I want to get my moneys worth. I'm quite looking forward to it. I have lots of other rallies in my calendar, first 3 weeks from now, including one in Denmark and the PIL of course. Looking forward to a good year on the bike. |

I’m going for the first time this year. Music line up looks good and lots to do so hopefully it will be great weekend. Not to bothered if it’s not as good as it used to be regarding old school adventure riding festivals as I just want a fun filled weekend. Phone signal sounds abysmal so I doubt “who’s near” function will be of much use. |

"We are on the countdown to it and we have the pineapple fairy lights for our tent all packed.
Pineapple fairy lights! Good call. Got some from Amazon ready for the PIL!"
I only heard about PIL recently, we'd love to try it out |

It’s good fun. We have a little swingers community now that go every year. |

Hi everyone! We're attending the festival this year for the first time!
M is heading down on the Thursday and I'm on the waiting list for the Thursday too, if not I'm coming on the Friday.
We're looking forward to it! Feel free to get to know us and hopefully say hi 😉

Last year we had a coffee meet up on the Thursday late afternoon. It would be nice to do something like that again. |

There's no reason why it can't be Friday this year. Or any day
Is there any interest in a Fab social meet? |

Everyone……. If you are organising anything don’t now. The phone reception is absolute garbage, it’s dire, if you manage to get anything at all. So will be nigh on impossible to make contact whilst there.
Hope that helps. |

Yes absolutely, you might be lucky on Super Thursday to get a message through. After that, it's 17k people in a big field looking for the same mobile signal.
Although a friend did suggest bringing a star link! He could be a good friend to have
