UPDATE Prescott Bike Festival due to take place at Prescott Hillclimb, Cheltenham on the weekend of April 14-15th was postponed due to adverse ground conditions. The event is the biggest annual fundraiser for the charity Blood Bikes. Event Organiser Gordon Downie said “It has always been our goal to host Two Amazing Days – One Winning Weekend. We know that we could not deliver this promise if we were to proceed. We feel that, rather than relying on wishful thinking, that it’s better to reschedule to a more favourable and warmer time in the year”.The popular, family-friendly event has now been postponed to June 16th-17th June 2018, a very auspicious weekend for all fathers. Local exhibits from Hereford, Worcester and Tewkesbury will be attending the Bike Festival this year with bikes from Vintage and classic to one offs and the latest in electric technology.

The Prescott Bike Festival will take place once again on the weekend of Saturday, April 14th - Sunday, April 15th, 2018 at Prescott Hill Climb, near Cheltenham. Bike Fest celebrates engineering excellence; from rare, classic, modern and customised to hand built motorbikes and some pretty wacky contraptions too.

The local mayors from Hereford, Worcester and Tewkesbury will all also be attending the Bike Festival and supporting The Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes and Severn Freewheelers charity, which delivers life saving blood and premature baby milk around the country.

Also, thanks to the World’s Fastest Shopping Trolley, the Easter Bunny will be able to deliver eggs in record time this year. ‘Trolley Dash’ will be jetting up to Prescott Hillclimb during the Easter holidays as part of the eggs-cellent annual fundraiser for Blood Bikes.

Matt ‘Madcap’ McKeown creator of ‘Trolley Dash’ the fastest shopping trolley in the world, will make a welcome return to Prescott with his latest mark II model. Matt McKeown currently holds the Guinness World Record of 70.4 mph. His all new jet propelled ‘Shopping Trolley’ features a KTM 250cc motorcycle engine to help manoeuvre it about, gears, go-kart wheels and upgraded chassis. Matt hopes to achieve the 100mph record in August, in the meantime he’ll be heading to Prescott for some shakedown testing ahead of his record attempt!

Aside from all the incredible machinery, there’s a stellar line-up of entertainment to keep the whole family entertained. Throughout the weekend there’s non-stop live music, special guest appearances, ‘On the Edge Stunt Show’, Show ‘n’ Tell area, passenger ride experiences, large kids zone, over 100 quality trade stands, clubs, a beer tent, the Blood Bike Village and great food.

The kids zone features arrive and drive go karts, climbing wall, trampoline bungees, rides and the world’s largest Star Wars club wandering around throughout the day.
