For over two decades, The Bulldog Bash has flown the flag as one of the UK's best-loved custom motorcycle and music festivals. What began as a gathering for bikers and custom bike enthusiasts has grown into a full weekend festival combining live music, drag racing, a custom show and a huge campsite community, all set on the wide open spaces of Long Marston Airfield near Stratford-upon-Avon.
From Humble Beginnings
The Bash grew out of the UK's thriving custom motorcycle scene, bringing together riders, builders and music fans for a weekend that celebrated two-wheeled culture in all its forms. Over the years it built a reputation as a friendly, welcoming event where custom bike builders could show off their creations alongside some of the best rock, metal and tribute bands on the circuit.
The Custom Show
At the heart of the festival has always been the custom bike show, where builders from across the country bring their most impressive machines to be judged and admired. Browse our photo galleries to see highlights from past years' shows.
Live Music & Entertainment
Alongside the bikes, The Bulldog Bash has hosted hundreds of live acts over the years across multiple stages, from up-and-coming rock bands to well-known tribute shows. Check out our full band archive to see who has taken to the stage.
Run What Ya Brung Drag Racing
No Bulldog Bash would be complete without the drag strip, where riders and drivers get the chance to test their machines in a straight line in front of a cheering crowd – one of the festival's most popular attractions.

The festival wouldn't be possible without the support of its sponsors and partners, who help bring the event to life each year.
