The annual Adventure Bike Rider Festival has been smothered with praise by the trade and by bikers but now the travel-focused outdoor event has won a top independent media award, too. The ABR Festival has been named Consumer Event of the Year at the PPA (Professional Publishers Association) Independent Publisher Awards for 2024, with the PPA judges commenting: “The winner displayed a strong commercial performance through offering attendees a multi-platform approach with creative choices delivering a well-rounded event. The Consumer Event of the Year award recognises events that deliver exceptional experiences and audience engagements. From thrilling ride-outs and on-site trails to inspiring talks, live music, and a friendly, welcoming community vibe, the ABR Festival stood out for its unique approach and festival-goer satisfaction.”
“We couldn’t be prouder,” said Alun Davies, owner of the ABR Festival. “This award celebrates the passion, dedication and unforgettable experiences that make the ABR Festival so special. But it’s not just a win for us; it’s a win for the entire motorcycling community.”
Davies says this year’s event will be even better. “Planning for the 2025 ABR Festival is already well underway, and it’s shaping up to be our best yet. With exciting new features (like expanded trails and more live music acts) and the same unforgettable atmosphere. You don’t want to miss it.”
