No 2027 Weston Beach Race date is set yet. Conrad Mewse won the 2026 Adult Solo from Billy Bolt on 21 laps: every podium, plus the race-day timetable.

The 2026 Weston Beach Race is over, and Conrad Mewse won the Sunday Adult Solo on a Honda, ahead of eight-time world champion Billy Bolt on a Husqvarna. Both completed 21 laps; Jak Taylor (GasGas) was third on 20. The race ran on Friday 16, Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October. These results come from the organiser RHL Activities’ official results page, which it says is reproduced from the event’s classification sheets. (RHL Activities, 2026 results)

The Adult Solo field ran to 639 riders in RHL’s classification. The full results, including the youth 65cc, 85cc and 125 to 250cc races, the vintage race and a search by rider or race number, are on RHL’s results page.

Bolt finished second on the sand for the second year running: he was runner-up in 2025 too, as RHL said when it announced him for 2026.

When is the 2027 Weston Beach Race?

RHL has not announced a 2027 date. It has created a “Weston 2027” page on its site; when we checked it on 3 November it said the dates and details were not ready to share, asked for feedback on 2026 and offered a sign-up for official 2027 news. The race is always held in October; this page will carry the 2027 dates and ticket release when RHL publishes them. (RHL Activities)

Everything below is the 2026 race-week information as it stood before the race, kept as a record of how the event works: tickets, timetable, parking and road closures.

Updated 15 October: RHL has closed online ticket sales. Its ticket page now says “Tickets are available at the gate” and that cash and card are both accepted. It has not published gate prices, so the online prices below are a guide only. The final timetable also adds rider signings, including Billy Bolt at 2.30pm on Friday. (RHL ticket platform, RHL timetable)

Updated 8 October: RHL has published the race timetable. The big races start at 1pm each day: the Friday SXS race, the Saturday Quad and Sidecar race and the Sunday Adult Solo, all on the full track until 4pm. Full times are below. (RHL timetable)

Updated 2 October: RHL now gives the gate time, 7.30am, confirms Friday is free to watch, and says its own on-site camping has sold out. Ticket prices are unchanged. Tickets will also be sold on the day, subject to availability. (RHL Activities, Weston Beach Race 2026, RHL ticket platform)

This is the 43rd running of the race, which RHL confirmed when it announced eight-time world champion Billy Bolt for the 2026 event. Bolt finished second on the sand in 2025. (RHL Activities)

Tickets and prices

Online sales have closed. On 15 October RHL’s ticket platform and its new Weston 2026 tickets page both said tickets are available at the gate, with cash and card accepted. Spectators need a ticket for Saturday and Sunday; Friday is free to watch the SXS class. (RHL ticket platform, RHL Activities, Weston 2026 tickets)

RHL has not published gate prices. Its FAQ says the discounted family tickets were only sold online, so do not count on a family ticket at the gate. (RHL Activities FAQ)

These were the online prices on RHL’s platform, checked on 5 September and unchanged on 2 and 8 October. RHL has not said whether the gate price differs.

  • Adult weekend (15 and over): £58
  • Child weekend, ages 7 to 15: £13
  • Family weekend, two adults and up to two children aged 7 to 15: £140
  • Group weekend, four adults: £230
  • Adult Saturday or Adult Sunday: £30 each
  • Child Saturday or Child Sunday, ages 7 to 15: £7.50 each
  • Grandstand, Friday: £5

On 8 October the platform no longer listed the £15 Saturday and Sunday grandstand upgrades it carried in September; RHL has not said why.

Weekend, Saturday and Sunday tickets cover the public viewing areas and the event village. Note the age bands: an adult ticket starts at 15, and the child band starts at 7. RHL does not publish a price for under-7s.

The prices went up once already this year. RHL’s own notice said spectator ticket prices and rider entry fees rose at midnight on 31 July. (RHL Activities)

What happens on each day

Saturday and Sunday are the race days, and both are covered by the day tickets. Friday is the extra day the event has grown into: Visit Weston says meet-and-greet sessions return on the Friday along with free spectator access to the Friday SXS side-by-side class, and that the grandstands have been expanded to double capacity after demand in 2025. (Visit Weston)

The £5 Friday item on the ticket platform is a grandstand seat, not entry, which fits that description of free Friday access.

RHL’s event page gives the gate time: gates open at 7.30am, at Marine Parade, BS23 1AL (what3words ///fault.strict.hears). (RHL Activities)

RHL published the race timetable in October. It warns that times are subject to change and points riders and spectators to its social media for updates; the tide shapes the circuit, so treat these as the plan rather than a promise.

(RHL timetable)

RHL bills the three-hour Adult Solo on Sunday afternoon as “the famous Adult solo”, the headline race of the weekend.

Away from the track, RHL lists trade stands, food and drink, kids’ activities, a big screen with commentary, and a fanzone show in which Danny Butler’s trials team takes on his own extreme mountain bike crew. Dogs are allowed on a lead.

Parking, and what it costs

There are three options with published prices, and they are not the same price.

  • On the beach. Parking on the sand is run by North Somerset Council at £12 per day per vehicle, card and cash accepted, available to riders and spectators, and bought on the day rather than pre-booked.
  • Weston-super-Mare Cricket Club, BS23 4NY, is RHL’s official off-site parking partner, from £11 per day, for cars, sprinters and transporter-size vehicles, a 10 to 15 minute walk from the seafront, and pre-bookable.
  • Blue Badge holders: disabled parking is on Marine Parade Road, close to the event and the main seafront areas. Spaces are limited, allocated first come first served, and a valid Blue Badge must be displayed.

(RHL Activities, Parking for the Beach Race)

If those fill, the town’s ordinary car parks are the fallback. Tariffs and locations for all 45 of them are in our guide to parking in North Somerset.

Camping

RHL says its own on-site camping is sold out, and that its partner Riverside Holiday Village still had pitches when the FAQ was last updated. It names three options on its camping page.

  • Riverside Holiday Village, the official camping partner, a five-minute drive from the beach, from £80 per night, pitches 7m x 10m or 9m x 17m with electric, arriving Friday 16 and departing Monday 19 October.
  • Weston-super-Mare Golf Club, £180 per pitch, plus £10 per adult wristband, with under-10s free.
  • Unity Beach, Brean, TA8 2QY, caravans, lodges and touring pitches across the bay; RHL gives no price.

Getting there and getting out

The race pulls thousands of vehicles onto a seafront that has one main approach. North Somerset Council has not published a traffic order for the 2026 event, so there is no confirmed list of road closures yet. Check the live picture before you set off: our roadworks and travel page tracks what is closed across the district.

One practical warning that has nothing to do with the race. This is a tidal beach with soft sand and mud, and cars that leave the marked parking area get stuck in it every year. Park where you are marshalled to park.
