Dave Day in Barrow in Furness

Dave Day was a vibrant celebration of the life of Hairy Biker Dave Myers, held in his home town of Barrow-in-Furness for three consecutive years from 2024 to 2026.

Following the inaugural event in 2024, thousands of bikers once again headed in 2025 to the Cumbrian town where Dave Myers grew up, in honour of his life. In 2025 the Dave Day festival took place over the weekend of Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June and featured a remembrance procession beginning in London, and celebrations in Barrow-in-Furness throughout the weekend.

Dave Day 2026 was the third and final Dave Day. Dubbed ‘The Last Ride Home’ by organisers, this hugely popular ride out in memory of Dave Myers took place on 20th June 2026.

Thousands of motorcyclists made the pilgrimage to Dave's hometown of Barrow, in honour of the much-loved Hairy Biker. Over three years, tens of thousands of bikers took part in the event.

Team Barrow sponsored the event, which raised money for some of Dave’s favourite charities and provided a platform for Barrow on a national stage.

The official ride started from Ace Café in London, a mecca for motorcyclists, with bikers joining up all along the route before converging on Barrow.
