BIKEFEST 2020

BIKEFEST 2020

Bikefest will return to Rugby on Sunday 17 May and for the first time will include the Wall of Death attraction.

There is fun for the whole family, stalls, live music, food and drink and children’s entertainment in this popular day out, which last year attracted over 6,000 people into town to see the bikes and join in the fun.

This year we will be working closely with motorcycle groups to put on a great event and if you don’t normally open up on a Sunday we can recommend that it will be worth your while!

Taking place from 5 – 6pm on Wednesday 22 January upstairs at Libertine Burger, these new activities have been created to help market your business, give the night time economy a boost and give visitors from the wider region reasons to come into Rugby.
