RALLY INFO: WHAT TO EXPECT

The Royal Agricultural University (1845) is an iconic venue with its stone tower, ancient staircases and crest laden dining hall, it’s very Harry Potteresque!

Rooms

Are of course student accommodation, but with everything you need for the weekend including towels, bedding, and tea & coffee making facilities.

Food

The food on offer in the great dining hall is included in the ticket price, and those who worked up an appetite dancing the night away can find takeaway food available to purchase from the mobile catering van late in the evening. Saturday lunch is a Hog roast (or veg equivalent) and cooked full English or continental breakfasts are also included in the ticket price.

The Tithe Barn Bar

Offers a great selection of drinks at student prices! Many favourite brands will available – perhaps in bottles rather than on tap, but hey, did I say student prices?

Friday Night

Is Hawaiian night, where after dinner, everyone is invited to bring out the Hawaiian shirt, put on the flower garlands in your rally pack and join the party along with our live band and DJ Rob.

Saturday

Is ride out morning…. not too early! Hundreds of bikes roaring on a fantastic route along country lanes and through the small towns and villages brings out the locals (more every year!) – be sure to wave – they will be waving to you! We’ll get back for lunchtime drinks and the Hog roast (or Veg alternative) before an afternoon of fun and games, Ladies of Harley event and Inter-chapter competitions.

Saturday Night

After a spot of dinner is Glam Rock night! so dig out and dust off the platform boots and 70s gear as we party through midnight on a wild blast from the past!
