THE BIGGEST annual event staged in Rugby town centre is raring to go later this month.

The Rugby Bikefest will see hundreds of bikes roar into the town centre on Sunday May 17.

The free, family-friendly event, organised by Rugby Borough Council in collaboration with local motorcycling groups, will start with the now traditional ride-in, when hundreds of motorbikes will roar into the town centre.

There will be a range of bike displays to enjoy, featuring brands including Harley Davidson, Ducati, Yamaha, Triumph and many more.




There will also be food stalls, live music and a funfair to keep family and friends entertained for the day.

Tom Kittendorf, Rugby Borough Council’s Assistant Director for Leisure and Wellbeing, said: “Rugby Bikefest is one of the most popular events in the town centre calendar.


“Drawing thousands of visitors from near and far, it generates a vibrant atmosphere and colourful spectacle in the town, providing a significant boost in footfall and revenue to local businesses on the day.”

The event takes place around the town centre from 10.30am to 4pm on Sunday May 17.
