Running from July 24-26 2026, the event has rapidly established itself as one of the highlights of the British motocross calendar, attracting former World Champions, Grand Prix winners and British stars alongside hundreds of veteran riders from across the UK and beyond.
Among those lining up this weekend are American motocross legend Jeff Emig, Britain’s last FIM Motocross World Champion Jamie Dobb, former Grand Prix winner Rob Herring, fan favourite Brad Anderson and four-time World Championship runner-up Kurt Nicoll, adding even more star power to what is already one of the strongest entry lists the event has seen.
More than just racing
While the action on track will undoubtedly be the main attraction, World Vets Motocross has become much more than a race meeting.
Set against the backdrop of one of Britain’s most famous motocross venues, spectators can enjoy two full days of racing alongside a packed programme of live entertainment, trade stands, manufacturer displays, food and drink, camping and family attractions.
Friday offers fans the opportunity to soak up the atmosphere before the racing gets underway, while the paddock provides the perfect chance to catch up with some of the biggest names in the sport.
Legends back on the gate
Seeing riders of this calibre back behind the start gate is a major part of what makes World Vets Motocross so special.
Jeff Emig remains one of America’s most recognisable motocross stars after an illustrious career that included AMA Pro Motocross titles, Supercross victories and numerous Motocross of Nations appearances.
Jamie Dobb’s 2001 125cc World Championship remains one of the greatest achievements in British motocross history, while Rob Herring’s Grand Prix victories and role in Great Britain’s famous 1994 Motocross des Nations triumph cemented his place among the country’s all-time greats.
Joining them are current British favourite Brad Anderson and Kurt Nicoll, whose outstanding Grand Prix career saw him finish runner-up in the 500cc World Championship on four occasions.
Entertainment into the evening
Once the racing ends, the entertainment continues.
The Urban Displays Bike Trials Stunt Show will perform on both Friday and Saturday evenings, while Friday night features live music from Jodie Yang-Cooper.
Saturday’s ever-popular Western Party returns with line dancing, themed entertainment and prizes for the best-dressed cowboy and cowgirl, helping create the unique festival atmosphere that has become synonymous with the event.
One of the year’s standout events
Whether you’re making the trip to watch some of motocross’ biggest names back in action or simply looking for a fantastic family weekend surrounded by the sport, World Vets Motocross promises something for everyone.
With over 500 riders, legendary names, iconic racing, entertainment and camping all packed into one weekend, Farleigh Castle is once again set to host one of the biggest events on the British motocross calendar.
