10th anniversary of the inspirational motorcycle travel event in Oxfordshire from 28th – 31st August.
Following a ‘gap year’ in 2024, The Overland Event is back with an exciting line-up of international presenters to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
Held at the historic Hill End Centre – a Site of Special Scientific Interest near Oxford – visitor numbers are capped, making this a relaxed and informal gathering, where riders can mingle, finding advice and inspiration for their next trip.
Speaking at Overland for the first time is Kinga Tanajewska, AKA @onherbike, who started riding as a teenager in her native Poland. Her love affair with the roads less travelled really started when she moved to Australia in her twenties. Following a life-changing crash in 2015, she embarked on a solo world trip, and hasn’t looked back.
She is joined by 36 other motorcycle explorers, including Chris Scott, author of the Adventure Motorcycle Handbook, and German couple Bea & Helmut, who are on a mission to ride the toughest Aussie outback trails on a pair of 50-year-old Kreidler mopeds.
Now in its tenth year, all of the features that make the Overland Event so popular with high-mileage motorcyclists return;
- Inspirational speakers throughout the weekend
- Motorcycle travel films
- Workshops on tyres, photography, first aid, crating a bike, travel writing, vlogging, sponsorship and more
- Author presentations and book signings
- Bike show – machinery that’s been everywhere!
- Motorcycle test rides with optional off-road sections

- Exhibitors with bikes, clothing and camping kit etc.
