  2. Prescott Bike Festival - Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 April 2015The fifth annual Prescott Bike Festival is often hailed the ‘Start of the Season’ Motorcycle Festival held at Prescott Hill Climb, home of the prestigious Bugatti Owners Club.

    Each year Prescott Bike Festival goes from strength to strength and 2015 will be no exception, with the introduction of a second fun filled day. Saturday 11 April 2015 will see the launch of ‘Beer and Bands’ (as beer and track don’t mix, there will be no track action on the Saturday) - just a great Beer Festival featuring a quality selection of beers, ciders and ales from just £2, plus non-stop bands and musicians to entertain you from 11 ‘till 11. All this and free overnight camping for Weekend Ticket holders.

    We are also delighted to announce that leading the celebrity line up for 2015 will be four times World Superbike Champion; Carl Fogarty. Carl will be promoting his new range of Foggy merchandise from our very good friends at Oily Rag Clothing. You can meet Carl at the Oily Rag stand and at the Paddock Specials Show ‘n’ Tell during the lunch break.

    As per previous years the Festival will also include a large displays of historic, modern and race bikes, motorcycle manufacturers, dealers, motorcycle clubs, demo areas, passenger ride experiences, celebrity appearances, trade stands and a whole raft of entertainment to keep you entertained throughout the weekend.
