The Trip Out 2026

Trip Out Festival is a unique blend of Woodstock, Easy Rider, and a dash of Tony Hawk – a relaxed yet electric celebration of freedom, creativity, and custom culture. Rooted firmly in 1970s chopper traditions, the festival has grown into one of the UK’s most authentic gatherings of its kind, now entering its 14th year with a reputation built on originality and community. Set within the picturesque Suffolk countryside on the historic grounds of Euston Hall, the location plays a huge part in the festival’s character. The 17th century estate, once home to the son of King Charles II, offers a striking contrast to the hand-built machines scattered across its lawns. With over 350 years of history behind it, the setting give Trip Out a sense of timelessness that perfectly complements the craftmanship on display. The range of builds is impressive and refreshingly inclusive. Alongside beautifully finished choppers, you’ll find hot rods, pickups, vans, and true one-off creations – from original survivor bikes to a custom-built kids’ trike. It’s a showcase of personality as much as engineering, where individuality is encouraged and celebrated. Trip Out isn’t about chasing trends – it’s about staying true to the roots while leaving room for creativity to grow.
