Farmyard Party

What it is

Farmyard Party is a motorcycle rally at Duncombe Park, Helmsley, North Yorkshire. 2027 is its 39th year.

It is run by Magic Action Promotions, mostly by Yorkshire Motorcycle Action Group volunteers. It is not run for profit and raises money for the Motorcycle Action Group.

What's on

• Four stages with more than 30 acts, including the Big Top main stage, a Dance Tent, the Blues Bar and the Riders Rights Marquee.
• Stand-up comedy in the Big Top on Saturday afternoon, included in the ticket.
• Old Peculier Ride-in Bike Show on Saturday afternoon.
• Old Timers Vintage and Classics Marquee, with a daily Rev Up demonstration.
• VMCC and VJMC ride-out for pre-1988 motorcycles on Saturday, leaving at 11am.
• Trade stalls, food stands and bars.

Camping or glamping

Camping is included in the weekend ticket. There are over 60 acres, with a Fires Field and a No Fires Field, and about 80 tonnes of free pre-cut firewood. Showers are at the main arena entrance and toilets are free.

Glamping is new for 2027. The Glamping Group offers pre-pitched bell tents, some sleeping up to six, available from Thursday. It is booked separately and does not include event admission, so everyone in a glamping tent also needs an entry ticket.
