British Motor Show & Farnborough International Partnership
We’re delighted to announce The British Motor Show and Farnborough International will be our partners for the 2026 Revival Weekend – the three-day festival, which raises funds for the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) charity.
Taking place from Friday 15th – Sunday 17th May 2026, this retro-themed weekend celebrates music, craft, beer, artisan produce and classic motorcycles, bringing together local communities for a shared cause.
Farnborough International, based just down the road, is an award-winning exhibition and conference centre, globally recognised event organiser and film studio. With a strong commitment to community engagement, it joins forces with The British Motor Show, returning 21st – 23rd August 2026, widely regarded as one of the UK’s most exciting automative events, featuring spectacular cars, live action displays and family-friendly experiences. Together, these partnerships unite leading regional giants to support the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, which raises funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health through its association with Movember and other charities.
The Revival Weekend opens on Friday 15th May with our star-studded Tribute Band Night, featuring a classic rock double of Fleetwood Collective and KT Bush Band.
Saturday 16th May Surrey Hills Artisan Market showcases the diverse mix of local talent, featuring handcrafted food, drink, and arts and crafts that celebrate both traditional and contemporary skills.
Sunday 17th May marks the grand finale, as riders from the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride arrive at the brewery following scenic tours through the Surrey Hills.
The Revival Weekend aims to propel the local DGR chapter to the top of the global fundraising leadership board through ticket sales, donations and supporting events.
In 2025, the Surrey Hills DGR attracted 1,405 riders and raised an amazing £98,216, ranking sixth worldwide.
We look forward to seeing you at the Revival Weekend!
