| Submission declined on 22 April 2025 by S0091 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of events). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: See WP:NEVENT. Many of the sources are affiliated with the festival so not independent and others are based on what those affiliated say so also not independent. S0091 (talk) 15:08, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Adventure Bike Rider Festival, also known as the ABR Festival[1][2][3], [4][5] is an annual three-day motorcycle festival in Ragley Hall Estate[6], England and takes place in June each year. The festival features manufacturer test rides[7], live music, off-road trails, live talks, off-road training and other activities throughout the festival.
History
[edit]The festival started as a small gathering called the ABR Rally, which first took place on April 15, 2011, at Takota Camping, Cubria. Since then, the festival has changed venues and grown to become one of the largest motorcycle festivals in the world, with a record of 14,000[8] reported to have attended in 2024.
The festival has been held at Ragley Hall Estate[9], Alcester B49 5NJ since 2019 and always occurs on the last weekend of June. Since its inception, it has followed largely the same format (though expanded for larger crowds): providing entertainment such as manufacturer test rides[10][11][12][13], off-road training, live talks by motorcycle legends[14], live rock music and beer tents. The festival also features an over 50 km continuous off-road trail[15], which people attending the festival can ride for an additional charge. There are two on-site trails: the Bridgestone trail which is a 40km trail which is designed for beginners to advanced and the TRF trail an 8km trail which is for people after a tougher riding challenge.
This year's festival is set to be held over four days, with gates opening on Thursday 27th of June and closing on Sunday 29th of June 2025. This year's festival is set to have speakers such as Itchy Boots[16], Adam Riemann, Ryan F9, Nick Sanders, Elspeth Beard, Jacqui Furneaux and many others.
