Get on two wheels

There are ‘live’ activities to take part in for all ages. Whether taking to two wheels for the first time, having a go on an electric bike to see what all the ‘buzz’ is about, taking to the dirt in Experience Adventure or heading out onto the road with the Test Ride Zone – the choices are endless. With all the kit provided, visitors don’t even need to  worry about bringing their own protective clothing.

Meet riding stars 

Visitors can meet motorcycle racers, riding celebrities and influencers galore at the show. With live entertainment at the Black Horse stage taking place throughout the day and meet and greets held by manufacturers and exhibitors, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet riding idols.

Lovers of BSB may want to attend on Sunday 19th November for the dedicated day for all things British Superbikes. And Saturday 25th November, the show is also welcoming a whole raft of World Champions for the FIM Champion’s Day.

Whether going alone, with friends or with the whole family, there’s plenty to do for everyone. Motorcycle fans aged four to 12 can enjoy the Arenacross Youth MX experience^, whilst anyone aged 14 and over can participate in the MCIA TryRide zone. Entry for under 5’s is free** and those aged 6-18 are just £2.50**.

Save money by booking in advance 

Some people like to be organised, others don’t, but it pays to plan in advance to save some money and get a good deal.

Advanced ticket prices offer show-goers the opportunity to save money – priced at £23* for an adult ticket and children 6-18 just £2.50 when accompanied by a paying adult – under 5’s are free. Group discounts are also available for those looking to buy more than 10 tickets – and members of the group don’t have to come on the same day.
