For you to share to your groups. With this wording. 🔥🏍️ Motorcyclists… the buzz is REAL! 🏍️🔥

Word of this amazing event is spreading fast, and our community is growing rapidly after the hugely successful 2025 Bike & Brew Passport Event. Riders everywhere are getting excited—and with good reason… the 2026 Event is going to be EPIC!

Here’s what you need to know so far:

📅 Event runs 1 April – 30 September 2026

📍 250+ rider-friendly venues from Newquay to Norwich and up to Carlisle

🎁 Fantastic prizes to be won

🎫 Passports will be available soon from participating cafés, online, and through our volunteers

💛 Donate £10 for a passport

🙌 Every penny supports grassroots community charities

🤝 Backed by an incredible team of 50 Event Ambassadors

Once the final cafés are signed up (very soon 🤞), we’ll reveal the map so you can start planning your rides, adventures, and epic routes for the season.

Get your bikes ready… 2026 is calling! 🛣️✨

Amazing event, didn't get as many stamps as I'd like last year. Had an off in Scotland early May, then bike was off the road for an unrelated repair through August. Can't wait for this year

A couple of mates filled their passports last year, I managed only 19 I think. This year there are quite a few more places to visit over a wider area. It'll be some serious work to complete this time!

I saw the map yesterday, looks like the majority of the cafes are south of me, and there will be loads I won’t get to.

But if it gets me out to some new and different places, then it’s all good

I quite like the idea of this, think it'll be a nice way to break back into riding this year, start off with a few local cafes then work my way out from there.

That’s my plan, hoping it’ll encourage me to get for some longer rides. And give me somewhere to aim for, instead of just ending up at the same few places

We found an amazing biker friendly cafe in Adlington

It is called the boatyard bus cafe.

They are not part of the event this year, they only took it over in February, they are looking to join it next year though.

They do a biker night on Wednesday too.

We are going for lunch on Wednesday.

The place is great, we are not bikers but enjoy the community, always polite and chatty.

The owners are nice too, they go all out to welcome bikers everyday, not just on bike nights.

We are going to the pit stop in clitheroe today, they do a bike night on Thursdays too.

That's another one on my to do list.

Also try riverside cafe in slaidburn and puddleducks in dunsop bridge, but be careful if you eat outside, the ducks will come waddling across the road lol
