One of Rugby’s best, biggest and most-loved events is returning to Rugby town centre. Bikefest takes place on Sunday 17 May, from 10:30am to 4pm.  

The supercharged, free family friendly bike festival, organised by Rugby Borough Council in collaboration with local motorcycling groups, will see hundreds of bikes roar through the town centre as part of the fun-fuelled event.  

Bike enthusiast or not, there’s no shortage of entertainment for everyone. The day will start with the ride-in, which will include hundreds of motorbikes cruising through the town centre. Expect revving engines and gleaming displays.

Motorcyclists who would like to take part in the ride-in can register at therugbytown.co.uk/rugby-bikefest 
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 whole 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.”
