As well as exhibiting his riding skills, Chris will take to the Bridgestone Campfire Stage as a speaker on Saturday afternoon, entertaining audiences with his experiences and anecdotes from his illustrious riding career.

Commenting on the announcement, Chris Birch said, “I’m excited to be at the ABR Festival this year. It looks like a good time on motorbikes and I’m looking forward to being there. I’ll be doing some riding demos and a bit of a talk. But mainly, I’ll be there to hang out, meet as many people as possible and enjoy some good times on bikes. I’m very much looking forward to it.”

Chris Birch will be joining a growing list of impressive riders and adventurers at the 2023 ABR Festival, which is set to take place at the picturesque Ragley Hall Estate on the 23-25 June.

Commenting on the recent Chris Birch announcement, Bryn Davies, Head of Marketing at ABR Festival stated, “Ever since I saw Chris Birch making a KTM 1190 Adventure look like a trials bike on YouTube, I wanted to see him live. Now, with the help of Kriega, we’re able to show his jaw-dropping talent to everyone at the ABR Festival. With Chris flying over from New Zealand for the event, it really shows the draw the ABR Festival has, and visitors are in for a real treat with the rider displays we have planned.
