One ticket. A weekend of music, comedy and camping — all included.
By Bikers • For Bikers • In Aid of Bikers.
Literally thousands of bikes — from timeless classics to engineering masterpieces.
By Bikers • For Bikers • In Aid of Bikers. It’s been at the heart of the Farmyard Party from the beginning, and it still is today.
Motorcycles aren’t simply how people get to the Farmyard — they’re part of the event itself. Look across the camping fields and you’ll see thousands of bikes of every description, from everyday rides and cherished classics to customs, tourers, adventure bikes and some extraordinary pieces of engineering.
The Farmyard Party is first and foremost a motorcycle rally, with the vast majority of attendees arriving on two (or three) wheels. Wherever you look, motorcycles are part of the landscape.
On Saturday, the Old Peculier Bike Show brings together some of the most interesting and individual machines on site, while the Vintage & Classics Marquee celebrates motorcycles from years gone by — complete with the sights, sounds and smells of classic machinery being fired into life. The official VMCC and VJMC Saturday Ride-Out also sees pre-1988 motorcycles heading out from the Farmyard for a ride across the stunning North York Moors.
But you don’t need a show bike or a classic to be part of it. Come on whatever you ride, whether you’re travelling alone, with a mate, an owners’ club or a whole group. Park up, pitch your tent and you’ll soon find yourself surrounded by people who share the same passion.
Thousands of bikes. Thousands of bikers. One Farmyard Party.
For bikes that deserve to be seen. It's about the passion, not just the build.
The Old Peculier Bike Show at the Farmyard Party is your chance to put your pride and joy in the spotlight — and you don’t need a professionally built show bike to take part.
Custom-built chopper, café racer, streetfighter, modified classic, DIY rat bike or something that simply refuses to fit neatly into a category — we welcome all types and styles. It’s the individuality, imagination and passion behind the bike that matters.
Taking place on Saturday afternoon, the show brings together some of the most interesting, unusual and downright eye-catching machines at the Farmyard. Even if you’re not entering, it’s well worth wandering down for a look, a chat with the owners and perhaps a little inspiration for your next project.
It’s a Ride-in Bike Show, so your bike must be ridden into the show itself — but how you get it to the Farmyard is entirely up to you.
Our judging panel will be looking for the bikes that stand out from the crowd, with our coveted glass trophies up for grabs — regardless of engine size, value or how much money has been spent on the build. And returning for 2027: the BikersMag.co.uk L-Plate Trophy, recognising riders who are just starting out on their motorcycling journey. If you’re riding on L-plates — we’d love to see you taking part.
And then there’s Best in Show. If our judges love your bike as much as you do, you could ride away with our Best in Show glass trophy and a cash prize.
Ride it in. Show it off. See what the judges think.
Why not show us yours?
Discover the history of motorcycling, from cherished classics to pure icons.
Our Old Timers Vintage & Classic Marquee brings together a fascinating collection of motorcycles spanning generations of motorcycling — from machines dating back to the early 1900s right through to more modern classics.
There’s always an incredible variety on display, from beautifully restored and carefully preserved machines to bikes that still bear the marks of a lifetime on the road. Some are instantly recognisable icons, while others are rare or unusual machines you simply don’t see very often.
It’s a place to take your time, wander round, admire the engineering and craftsmanship, chat with the owners and share a few stories with fellow enthusiasts. Whether you know your vintage motorcycles inside out or simply enjoy seeing how bikes have evolved over the decades, there’s plenty to discover at the Farmyard Party.
And these bikes aren’t just there to be looked at. The ever-popular daily ‘Rev Up’ brings the marquee to life with the noise and smell of classic machinery being fired up — and it’s always one of the highlights of the marquee.
The official VMCC and VJMC Saturday Ride-Out also returns for 2027, taking pre-1988 motorcycles out from the Farmyard Party for a ride across the stunning North York Moors.
To register for the Saturday Ride-Out, please contact Mick at mpsracing@gmail.com.
Got a vintage or classic motorcycle of your own that you think deserves a place in the marquee?
We’d love to hear from you. Contact Mick at mpsracing@gmail.com to find out more about bringing your bike along.
The Farmyard Party packs live music, comedy and entertainment into one unforgettable weekend. Whether you want a full-on party atmosphere or somewhere to sit back with a beer, there’s always something happening.
At the heart of it all is the Big Top Main Stage, bringing some of our biggest acts to the Farmyard Party with great sound and a proper big-stage atmosphere.
And into the early hours of Saturday morning, you can cut some shapes in the Dance Tent. For one night only, it takes over from midnight on Friday in the Main Stage Bar. If you’re still not ready for bed, expect late-night dance tunes and a completely different Farmyard atmosphere, carrying on into the early hours.
The Blues Bar is a firm Farmyard favourite, welcoming performers from across the UK and Europe and delivering everything from blues and rock to something a little different.
For a classic biker-rally atmosphere, head to the Riders Rights Marquee, hosted by Rick Hulse of NABD (National Association for Bikers with a Disability).
Then there’s Crusties — the Farmyard’s all-day speakeasy. Pull up a sofa, grab a beer and settle in for acoustic music and a very different side of the rally. It’s our latest-opening bar, carrying on into the early hours. Stay long enough and you can eventually drag yourself away and head back to your tent, or find a fire to sit by as the sun comes up.
With over 30 acts across the weekend, there truly is something for everyone.
And it’s not all about the music. On Saturday afternoon, the Big Top becomes a full-blown comedy club for several hours of top-class stand-up from some of the best acts on the UK circuit — all included in your ticket.
Four stages. 30+ acts. One huge Farmyard Party weekend.
The Farmyard Party gives you over 60 acres of Yorkshire countryside to call home for the weekend, set in the spectacular grounds of Duncombe Park at Helmsley, surrounded by the rolling Howardian Hills.
Pitch your tent, park your bike beside you and settle in. Stay in our Fires Field, where campfires are all part of the Farmyard experience, or choose the quieter No Fires Field if you prefer camping without one.
And when we say campfires, we mean proper old-school campfires. Around 80 tonnes of pre-cut firewood is provided free of charge, so get a fire going, pull up a chair (or make one) and spend the evening swapping stories with friends old and new.
Both camping areas have toilets and accessible facilities, with food stands nearby for that late-night supper or morning breakfast.
MAG marshals and our professional security team are on hand throughout the weekend, helping to keep the camping areas safe and enjoyable.
Then there are those long June evenings. There’s no better place to spend a summer solstice weekend than at the Farmyard Party. Sit around the campfire as the light slowly fades over the North Yorkshire countryside, then unzip the tent the next morning, put the kettle on and step out into the grounds of Duncombe Park, surrounded by bikes, tents and friends.
Camping and firewood are included with your Farmyard Party weekend ticket.
60+ acres. Thousands of bikes. Campfires under the Yorkshire stars.
Fancy doing the Farmyard Party a little differently this year? Whether you’re celebrating something special, treating yourselves to a few home comforts or getting a group of mates together, glamping can turn your Farmyard weekend into something that little bit extra.
New for 2027 and brought to you by The Glamping Group, there’s a flexible range of bell tents and packages to suit different budgets. Start with an affordable Blank Canvas tent, step up to an Essentials or Luxury package, then add the extras you want to make the weekend your own.
Coming as a group? Some of the larger tents sleep up to six, making them a great way to share the Farmyard Party with friends — and split the cost between you.
Anniversary, birthday, special occasion or simply because you fancy it — you still get everything that makes the Farmyard, just with a few more home comforts waiting for you when the night finally ends.
Glamping is also available from Thursday, so if you’ve booked Thursday arrival you can get settled in and start your Farmyard weekend early.
Please note: Glamping is booked separately and does not include admission to the Farmyard Party. Everyone staying in a glamping tent must also have the appropriate Farmyard Party entrance ticket.
Choose your tent. Add your extras. Make the weekend your own.
For one afternoon, the Farmyard Party swaps horsepower for laughter, with a full stand-up comedy show featuring some of the best acts from the UK comedy circuit.
On Saturday afternoon, our blackout Big Top transforms into one enormous comedy club. Step inside from the daylight and you’re straight into a proper comedy-room atmosphere, with a packed audience, a full stage and several hours of live stand-up ahead of you.
This isn’t a quick warm-up between bands or a couple of short comedy spots. It’s a proper part of the Farmyard Party programme in its own right, with a line-up of established circuit comedians and rising talent taking to the stage throughout the afternoon.
Over the years we’ve welcomed comedians including Sarah Millican, Gary Delaney, Tape Face and Lost Voice Guy — and every year brings a different line-up. It’s also a formidable room for any comedian to walk out into, but year after year they tell us how much they love playing the Farmyard crowd.
And the best bit? There’s no additional ticket to buy. A stand-up show of this calibre could cost a sizeable chunk of your Farmyard Party ticket price on its own — here, it’s all included.
A blackout Big Top. A packed audience. Several hours of top-class stand-up.
ALL INCLUDED WITH YOUR FARMYARD PARTY TICKET.
Arrive hungry. From proper burgers, wood-fired pizzas and loaded nachos to curries, barbecue, Mediterranean wraps and plenty more, there’s a great choice of food across the Farmyard. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options mean there should be something for pretty much everyone.
And because a great rally weekend shouldn’t cost a fortune once you’ve got through the gate, we work hard with our food traders and bars to keep prices genuinely reasonable. For an event of our size, we think the Farmyard offers exceptional value — good portions, plenty of choice and prices that don’t feel like typical large-event prices.
If you fancy something a little quieter, Holy Joes offers a welcoming place to sit down, take a break and enjoy a cuppa away from the hustle and bustle of the main rally. Run by the Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA), everyone is welcome — whatever your beliefs — whether you’re after a brew, a chat or simply somewhere to take five.
Across our four bars you’ll find a wide range of beers, craft ales, ciders, wines, spirits, soft drinks and other alcohol-free options.
We’re particularly proud of our bar prices. In fact, you can often buy a pint at the Farmyard for less than you’d pay in town — not something you can say about many large events. We want you to be able to enjoy a few drinks with your mates without feeling like you’re paying a premium just because you’re in a field.
Whether it’s breakfast to start the day, something substantial between bands, a late-night bite or a pint while the sun goes down, you won’t need to go far.
Great food. Great beer. Great value. That’s how we think a Farmyard weekend should be.
Take a wander around the trade stalls and you’ll find an eclectic mix of traders selling everything from serious motorcycle kit to those things you had absolutely no intention of buying until you saw them.
Looking for new leathers, a jacket, boots or a helmet? You’ll find motorcycle gear from head to toe, alongside accessories, patches, jewellery, gifts, clothing and a whole host of other useful — and occasionally completely unnecessary — stuff.
The trade area is part of the Farmyard experience in its own right. Have a wander between the stalls, chat to the traders, rummage through the gear and see what catches your eye. You might arrive looking for something specific — or come away carrying something you didn’t even know existed an hour earlier.
And then there are the things you didn’t know you needed. Take your time and have a proper wander, because there are probably more of them here than in the middle aisle of Aldi.
And while you’re there, don’t forget to visit Johnsons of Leeds — probably the largest army surplus store in the world… in a field. They’ve supported the Farmyard from pretty much the beginning, and their enormous range of army surplus is always worth a proper rummage through. There is no going cold with Johnsons about.
Don’t forget the official Farmyard Party Rally Gear marquee either. If you want your 2027 Farmyard gear, make it one of your stops earlier in the weekend — the popular stuff has a habit of selling out, so don’t leave it until Saturday afternoon.
Have a browse, treat yourself and take a little bit of the Farmyard home with you. Go on… because you’re worth it.
Are you in an Owners Club or Bike Club?
Organise your tickets through the club and you can qualify for FREE TICKETS.
Buy 10 tickets and get 1 FREE. Buy 20 and get 2 FREE. Buy 30 and get 3 FREE — and so on.
The offer is available to owners’ clubs and bike clubs, with qualifying ticket purchases organised centrally through the club. Clubs can make more than one qualifying purchase too, so you don’t need to get everybody booked at the same time.
With over 5,000 people — and growing — attending the Farmyard Party, it’s a great opportunity to bring your club together, catch up with members from around the country and perhaps meet a few potential new ones along the way.
Make our weekend your club weekend. Turn it into your annual get-together, hold a social, organise an AGM or simply get everyone together for a cracking weekend at the Farmyard.
Want to give your club a proper presence at the Farmyard? Clubs can also have a Club Stall (subject to availability), giving you a base for the weekend where members can meet, people can find out more about the club and you can welcome potential new members.
And, of course, you still get everything else that comes with a Farmyard Party weekend — the bikes, live music, comedy, camping, campfires and plenty of time to catch up over a beer.
Interested? Call us on 0800 988 3199, email enquiries@mapevents.co.uk or use our contact form and we’ll help you get your club organised.
23 or under and riding to the Farmyard? You can save 25% on your ticket.
Our Young Rider Discount is there to encourage the next generation of bikers to experience the Farmyard Party for themselves. If you’re aged 23 or under, hold an A1 or A2 motorcycle licence or a valid CBT, and ride your own bike to the event, you can claim 25% back from your ticket price.
We genuinely want to see more younger riders at the Farmyard. Whether you come for the bikes, the live music, the camping, the comedy or simply a weekend away with your mates, there’s plenty going on — and it’s always great to see a new generation discovering what a proper motorcycle rally is all about.
Still on L-plates? Even better. Get involved in the Old Peculier Bike Show, where all L-plate riders are welcome to enter and you could ride away with our BikersMag.co.uk L-Plate Trophy. It doesn’t matter what you ride — bring it along, ride it into the show and show us yours.
To qualify for the Young Rider Discount, simply pre-book your ticket online or through one of our ticket outlets and ride your own bike to the Farmyard Party.
Once you’re here, take your driving licence showing your A1 or A2 motorcycle entitlement, or your valid CBT certificate, to the Official Rally Gear Marquee and we’ll arrange your 25% cashback.
You must be aged 23 or under on the first day of the event, and all claims must be made at the Official Rally Gear Tent before 6pm on Saturday.
Young rider. Your own bike. 25% back. Simple.
For details, call us on 0800 988 3199, email enquiries@mapevents.co.uk or use our contact form.
Why wait until Friday? Thursday arrival gives you the chance to get to the Farmyard early, get your tent pitched and settle in before the main rally gets underway.
Originally introduced for bikers travelling longer distances, Thursday has become a firm Farmyard favourite in its own right. It has sold out for the last few years, and we’ve increased the number of Thursday places year after year.
Gates open at 3pm on Thursday*. Once you’re in and settled, the Blues Bar opens for the evening, with a DJ, recorded music and the bar open for drinks — a relaxed night and a great chance to catch up with old friends before the Farmyard really gets going on Friday.
Fancy making it even easier? Glamping is available from Thursday too, so you can arrive, drop your bags and start your weekend without even having to pitch a tent.
Thursday admission is an optional extra and must be booked separately from your Farmyard Party weekend ticket. Places are limited and have sold out in previous years, so don’t leave it too late.
Campervans and motorhomes are not permitted on Thursday.
*Subject to site sign-off from the Site Safety Team.
We all have friends, partners or relatives who don’t ride but would love to find out what a Farmyard weekend is all about. That’s exactly what our Bring a Buddy scheme is for.
If you’re a motorcycle licence holder, you can arrange a Farmyard Party ticket and vehicle pass for a friend, partner or relative who doesn’t ride, so they can come along and experience the rally with you.
They don’t need to arrive on a motorcycle or ride pillion. You simply arrange their ticket and vehicle pass on their behalf, then bring them along and introduce them to everything that makes the Farmyard such a special weekend.
It’s a great way to share the bikes, music, comedy, camping and atmosphere with someone who’s always wondered what you get up to at the Farmyard.
Who knows? You might even inspire them to join us on two wheels next time.
Bring a Buddy places are limited, so we recommend arranging their ticket and vehicle pass early.
For details, call us on 0800 988 3199, email enquiries@mapevents.co.uk or use our contact form.
VEHICLES PERMITTED AT THE FARMYARD PARTY
Cars • Campervans • Motorhomes
The Farmyard Party is first and foremost a motorcycle rally, and the vast majority of people still arrive on two or three wheels. But we also recognise that, for all sorts of reasons, some bikers can no longer ride as often as they once did — and in some cases can no longer ride at all.
We don’t believe that should mean giving up the rally, the friendships or being part of the biking community. If you or your partner holds a motorcycle licence, you can purchase the appropriate vehicle pass and attend the Farmyard in a car, campervan or motorhome.
Under our Bring a Buddy scheme, motorcycle licence holders can also purchase a vehicle pass on behalf of a non-riding friend, partner or relative, allowing them to experience the Farmyard too.
Vehicle passes are limited, must be pre-booked online and cannot be purchased at the event. They are required in addition to the appropriate Farmyard Party entrance ticket, so we recommend booking early.
Blue Badge holders are eligible for a concessionary car pass, which must be pre-booked online. Campervans and motorhomes are charged at the standard rate.
Please note: Our vehicle areas operate on a stay-put basis. Once your vehicle is parked on site, it should remain there for the duration of the event. Exceptions may be permitted where necessary but must be agreed with the event team.
CAR PASS • £35
*CAMPERVAN / MOTORHOME PASS • £55
For details, call us on 0800 988 3199, email enquiries@mapevents.co.uk or use our contact form.
*Campervans and motorhomes are not permitted on Thursday.
What time do the gates open?
The gates open at 9am on Friday morning. If you’ve pre-booked Thursday arrival, we aim to open from around 3pm on Thursday.
What’s included in my ticket?
Your weekend camping pitch, live music, comedy and entertainment throughout the weekend are all included in your ticket. Just bring money for food, drink and anything you fancy from the trade stalls.
What facilities are on site?
There are plenty of well-serviced, free public toilets throughout the site, which are cleaned and serviced around the clock throughout the weekend. It might be a field, but that doesn’t mean the loos cannot be clean — and their cleanliness is something we’re regularly complimented on.
Showers are also available at the entrance to the main arena and are operated by the Army Benevolent Fund, with proceeds supporting their cause.
Can I bring my own food and drink?
Yes. You’re welcome to bring your own food and drink for your own consumption during the weekend.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes. Dogs on leads are welcome at the Farmyard Party, but they are not permitted inside the music or stage areas while bands or acts are performing. Assistance dogs are, of course, permitted.
When and where is the Farmyard Party?
Fri 18th June – Sun 20th June – Limited tickets are available to book for Thurs 17th June. Location – Duncombe Park, Helmsley, North Yorkshire, YO62 5EB.

PARTIES WITH A PURPOSE
BY BIKERS • FOR BIKERS • IN AID OF BIKERS
"It's not all glamour you know" - Billy S
WHY WE DO IT
The Farmyard Party isn’t run for profit or personal gain. It’s run to raise funds for the Motorcycle Action Group, with our MAG marshals giving up their time to help make the rally happen and support a cause they believe in.
OVER £1.3 MILLION RAISED FOR MAG
Together, our rallies have raised more than £1.3 million for the Motorcycle Action Group — including a record £100,000 in 2026.
Every ticket you buy and every pound you spend with us helps support MAG and the work they do for motorcyclists.
WHO ARE MAG?
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) was formed in 1973 and has spent more than 50 years fighting for the rights and interests of motorcyclists.
MAG works with Government, politicians and decision-makers at both local and national level, campaigning on the issues that affect riders and making sure motorcycling has a voice when decisions are being made.
From protecting riders’ rights and freedoms to tackling legislation and regulation that affects motorcycling, MAG represents riders of all ages and all types of bikes. It remains independent of any political party and is driven by the interests of motorcyclists and motorcycling.

The official VMCC and VJMC Saturday Ride-Out is open to all riders on pre-1988 motorcycles and has become a firm favourite at the Farmyard.
