Northern Ireland: Storming The Castle - Motorbike Meet Every Wednesday at Carrickfergus Castle

  

Veteran Motorcycle Meet – Carrickfergus
A weekly motorcycle meet at Carrickfergus Castle, running every Wednesday night from 7 pm to 8 pm.

There’s coffee and a food cart on site
Open to everyone — but especially veteran-friendly
A great chance to chat, laugh, and share stories
Motorbikes are proven to help with mental health — and this meet is all about bringing people together and making new connections

So if you’ve got a bike (or just love them!), come down, meet some fellow veterans, enjoy the craic, and take in the view of the castle.
