It has been there for 30 years, so it is going to be a massive event. To mark the occasion, they are planning a closing party to end all closing parties. It'll take place across all 5 floors of the amazing building - spilling onto the pavements and streets outside!
Since the show was launched in 2012 the floor space taken up by the event has doubled as indeed have the number of bikes on display, the number of traders attending and the number of people visiting. This trend is sure to carry on the same trajectory in 2015 with the recent demise of the January motorcycle show at GMEX/Manchester Central. The Manchester Bike Show at EventCity in March is therefore not only the biggest and best show, it is indeed now the only indoor motorcycle show in the north of England. Clearly holding a motorcycle show at a venue next to the motorway network with easy access and free parking turned out to be a no brainer, just as we predicted it would!
