In pictures: Renowned motorcycle festival roars through Northamptonshire

Motorcycles of all shapes and sizes spanned the areas to thrill visitors of all ages.

On Saturday, June 10, Daventry hosted the 13th Motorcycle Festival, one of the most popular events in the area.

As is tradition, the Motorcycle Festival began with a ride-in of over 400 vehicles.

The new Daventry Mayor, Councilor Ted Nicholl, led the ride-in parade. He said after the event:

“I had a fantastic time officially opening Daventry Motorcycle Festival 2023 and participating in the festival’s infamous mass ride-in parade.”

The annual event, organised by a team of local volunteers, showcased an impressive array of motorcycles, drawing in residents and visitors from far and wide to celebrate the festivities.

The grand parade and display of motorcycles included vintage, classic, modern, and customised models.

“The community event was a brilliantly sunny day, attracting many visitors to the town to soak up the festivities and fantastic atmosphere.

“It was a privilege for me to spend the day meeting members of the public, stall holders and the many motorcycle owners whose bikes were on display,” said Cllr Ted.

This year, the event raised money for Daventry Food Bank.

“A big thank you to the fantastic team of volunteers who organised, planned and ran the Motorcycle Festival, and to Daventry Town Council for their help in promoting and supporting the event and to the organisations who helped with the clean up afterwards,” said Cllr Ted.
