London to Shambala (A Fresh Adventure)
In 2026 we are giving the London to Shambala ride a brand new look. Fresh roads, new scenery, the same magical community.
We are switching things up with a completely different journey that still keeps the best of what we all love: quiet country lanes away from traffic and plenty of snack breaks in beauty spots.
​
Our overnight stop will give us the chance to rest, refuel and gather for food, drinks and stories before the final push to Shambala. The exact London start point and plan are still being finalised.
​
If you have ridden before you will get to experience Shambala in a whole new way. If this is your first time, you will be joining a tradition that has already brought hundreds of Shambalans together. Either way, you will arrive at the festival with new friends, a big smile and the best possible start to your weekend.
​
Come and be part of our seventh year in the saddle!
