MOTORBIKE enthusiasts will be in seventh heaven when Rugby Bikefest roars back into town.
The festival, organised by Rugby First and Rugby Borough Council in conjunction with local motorcycling groups, businesses and organisations, will take place in the town centre on Sunday May 20 between 10am and 4pm.
The free family-friendly festival will includes a ‘ride-in’, bike stalls, displays, children’s entertainment, live music and food.
The ‘ride-in’ will see hundreds of bikes parade through the town, and there is still time for owners to register to join the parade.
Organisers are also keen to welcome motorbike-related stallholders and those interested in displaying their bike.
Rugby First managing director Aftab Gaffar said: “Bikefest is one of Rugby’s biggest and most popular events, attracting thousands of people into the town centre.
“Each year it continues to grow and visitors come from the local area but also travel from London, Birmingham and further afield for the event, providing a great opportunity to showcase our town centre.”
Rugby Borough Council spokeswoman Coun Heather Timms is among those looking forward to the event.
She said: “Rugby Bikefest kickstarts the summer events programme in the town centre and always attracts hundreds of visitors.
“This year’s Bikefest looks set to be the biggest and best yet, giving the town a fantastic opportunity to showcase all it has to offer to visitors from across the country.”
