Darwen Scooter Weekend 2026 is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever, and we’re excited to share the latest updates with you. We already have 10 confirmed venues on board for this year’s event, with more in discussion as we aim to surpass last year’s turnout and make 2026 our biggest weekend yet. The growing list of venues means more atmosphere & more music.

This years rideout on Saturday afternoon will feature a new route. We’ve put together an approximately 20-mile circular run designed to showcase the best local roads while keeping things enjoyable and accessible for all riders. Whether you’re a regular at Darwen or joining us for the first time, the new route promises a great mix of scenery, smooth riding, and that unbeatable group ride experience.

Across all venues, you can expect a packed schedule of live music and DJ sets, covering everything from mod and ska to soul and indie classics. Best of all, all entertainment across the weekend is completely free, so you can move between venues and enjoy everything on offer without missing a beat.

We’ll also have a full range of official merchandise available throughout the weekend. This year’s lineup includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, event patches, and collectible pins.

With more venues still to be confirmed and plenty more announcements to come, Darwen Scooter Weekend 2026 is building into something special. Stay tuned for further updates, and get ready for a weekend of great rides, great music, and great company.

For the first time, 2026 will also feature the Darwen Scooter Weekend After Party on Sunday 28th June at Hoddlesden Club, featuring a Northern Soul DJ—bringing the weekend to a perfect close - more details to follow.
