LlanBikeFest 15 will be staged at the pavilion this
Saturday and Sunday and is expected to attract bikers from all parts of the UK
to see the range of attractions it is offering.
In his letter, John Hutchinson of the BikeFest team
says: “As you may know, several motorcycle shows have been hosted by the site
in recent years, but this a new event, organised by a group of enthusiasts,
headed by Llangollen businessman Harry Edwards and supported by the Llangollen
and District Motorcycle Club.
“We want to make this an annual, family-friendly
festival which will be enjoyed by local people as much as the motorcycling
fraternity, and bring real benefits to the Llangollen community.
“We are very much aware of our responsibility to
minimise any disruption to local residents and businesses, so noise on site
will be strictly controlled and we will be actively urging motorcycling
visitors to ride respectfully and responsibly, especially along Abbey Road and
through the town.”
Details of attractions and activities at the
festival can be found at www.llanbikefest.co.uk and on
