START your engines – the date for this year’s Rugby Bikefest has been announced.
The ever-popular town centre event, now in its eleventh year, will take place between 10.30am and 4pm on Sunday May 18.
As in previous years, the Bikefest – organised by Rugby First, Rugby Borough Council and local motorcycling groups – will feature bike displays, stalls, live music, children’s activities, a funfair, food, cars and arena displays.
It will also begin with the now-traditional ride-in, with hundreds of bikes entering the town centre in convoy.
Rugby First Business Director Linda Lowne said: “The event attracts thousands of people from far and wide and provides a great opportunity for local businesses and start-ups to showcase what Rugby town centre has on offer and is all about. If you are a local business and interested in having a stall, there are a variety of discounts available.
“There is a limited capacity, so stalls will be offered on a first come first served basis. If you don’t want a stall, why not create a bike themed promotion or offer that could run in advance or on the day, and take advantage of the additional footfall and media coverage that the event will generate.”
