Run What Ya Brung

Santa Pod Raceway, Airfield Road, Podington, Wellingborough, Northants, NN29 7XA

You’ll be entitled to unlimited runs and you’ll receive a personal performance print-out showing your reaction times to the start lights, 60ft, 1/4 mile, 1/8 mile times and terminal speed. It’s recommended you arrive before 9.30am to ensure track-time. We can only accept a limited number of sign-ons, so arrive early or pre-book to avoid disappointment!

BMCRC SEASON STARTER

Brands Hatch Circuit, West Kingsdown, Longfield, Kent, DA3 8NG

We say:
The British Motorcycle Racing Club begins its racing season at Brands Hatch with a busy weekend on the Indy circuit. 14 races spread across Clubman, Minitwin, Junior and Thunderbike classes plus sidecar action and more. Still one of the cheapest ways to see a full day’s motorcycle racing.

8 March

British & Classic Bike Day

Ace Cafe, Ace Corner, North Circular Road (A406), London, NW10 7UD

We say:
Not strictly an event, but you’ll find one of the largest gatherings of classic and Brit thumpers outside of the main shows and aside from the statutory all-day breakfast, this is a cheap day out. Plus, it’s The Ace, people.

Price: Free

14-15 March (TBC)

NG ROAD RACING BIKE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS

Venue TBC

They say:

15 March (TBC)

Overland & Adventure Travel Bike Day

Ace Cafe, Ace Corner, North Circular Road (A406), NW10 7UD

We say:
Like the Brit Bike’s day at the Ace, this is more of a get together than strictly an event, but there will be plenty of bikes to droll over and inspire a trip or two. And everyone is very, very friendly and like-minded and all that.

Price: Free

15 March (TBC)

Wistanstow Bike Show

Wistanstow Hall, Craven Arms, Wistanstow, Shropshire, SY7 8DQ

We say:
Following the previous year’s unfortunate cancellation due to bad weather it was great to see the Shropshire Vintage and Classic Motorcycle Show back for its 26th year in 2019. Guest of honour was former Grand Prix road race Peter Williams. As well as the bikes on display and the auto jumble, part of the attraction is the bikes ridden in by the visitors, which will be spread around the parking areas. This year’s event is still to be confirmed (as at December 2019).

Prices: £3 per person

Unless there is a significant show element involved, we haven’t listed every autojumble and swap meet in the Motorcycle Events Calendar. Likewise, unless there is a hefty bike activities element, we haven’t included many club rallies or biker-only music festivals, unless they’ve got a stonking reputation. This is mainly a list of the larger or more specialist bike-focussed events, plus we’ve added in the major sports bike race events.

All prices are on-the-gate prices for a single day visit, unless otherwise stated. Other ticket prices may be available in advance, as well as concessionary prices. See event websites for more details.

If your event isn’t listed in the Motorcycle Events Calendar, let us know via the Contact Us page, using the ‘editorial’ email address and putting the words Event Listing in the subject line of your email.
