BarbersRide is back for its 9th consecutive year! In 2025 BarbersRide is back on the rolling rural roads of England after two years away fund-raising for Make-A-Wish in Ireland, and in the Netherlands and Germany.
BarbersRide is a road trip like no other. This year, celebrating the camaraderie only a motorcycling adventure can promise, the Riders will visit past Main Sponsors en route, to hand out plaques and thank them for their continued support throughout the years.
The mission for 2025: to raise over £30,000 for Make-A-Wish, the charity which makes dreams come true for seriously ill children and their families. The trip also aims to raise as much awareness as possible for the charity’s work, all while giving riders an unbeatable sense of fellowship and memories to last a lifetime.
Established in 2017, BarbersRide has so far raised a grand total of £183,000 for children’s charities. Evenings are hosted by prestigious barbershops along the route, giving everyone on the road the chance to kick back, celebrate and fundraise with some of the UK’s most in-demand barbers.
2024 saw the BarbersRide crew take to the roads in Germany and the Netherlands on an epic 972 miles / 1564 km across Europe as a motley crew of over 30 riders set off on a 5 day mission, united by their passion for bikes and barbering. From slippery single tracks to savage switchbacks and razor-sharp racetrack bends, every moment counted.
In 2025 BarbersRide kicks off at Lind Harley-Davidson in Newmarket on 2nd August with the finale at The Master’s Barber Shop in Southport on 7th August. All with one goal: to have as much fun as possible whilst raising funds for Make-A-Wish.
A huge thank you to our Associate Sponsor, Matakki Scissors, for generously donating this incredible prize.
