Festival Organiser, Gordon Downie said, “We’ve built a good reputation for our Season Opener at Prescott and it seemed so natural to follow it up with a Season Closer and we are delighted to bring our Festival to Shelsley Walsh in September. Shelsley is the oldest motor sport venue in continuous use in the world and our event provides the unique opportunity for members of the public to take part and ride the historic hill climb course on their own bike. Run the Hill entries are limited, and are already selling fast, so booking early is essential”.

The Festival prides itself on its diversity, and is not just for modern bikes either, the classic marques are well represented with the likes of Bantam, AJS, BSA, Rudge, Royal Enfield, Douglas, Manxman, Ariel, Matchless and Norton to custom choppers. Whilst there are just too many to mention, here are a few to whet your appetite:-
