The Rugby Bikefest is set to return this year. The free family festival will take place on Sunday 20 May and includes a ride-in, bike displays, stalls, children’s activities, funfair, music and food. This year you can’t afford to miss the amazing ‘Extreme Wheelie’ machine – bike enthusiast or not! This amazing bit of kit is both a motorcycle simulator and a virtual reality experience. If you have always longed for the thrill of the elusive wheelie or want to know how to control the unexpected wheelie - here is your chance!

Cllr. Heather Timms, Rugby Borough Council portfolio holder for growth and investment, said: “This year’s Bikefest looks set to be the biggest and best yet, giving The Rugby Town a fantastic opportunity to showcase all it has to offer to visitors from across the country. To complement this special event there will be free entry to the World Rugby Hall of Fame on the day, along with face painting, so make sure you take the opportunity to visit and discover the fascinating history of the game of Rugby.”
