Sherburn-in-Elmet is a village close to Selby, North Yorkshire. It is one of only three places in the area to be explicitly associated with the ancient kingdom of Elmet, the others being Scholes-in-Elmet and Barwick-in-Elmet.
Sherburn-in-Elmet is often referred to locally as simply 'Sherburn'. It is notable as a regular meeting place for motorcycle riders, most abundantly on Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons. The roads leading into Sherburn-in-Elmet are known nationally for the varied and pleasurable rides they offer when atop a motorcycle. Meets used to take place at the 'Milk Bar', which was forced to close after local residents complained about the behaviour and volume of riders, and now gather around one of several public houses.
