For the first ever time, the annual Prescott Bike Festival (the biggest fundraiser for Blood Bike Charities) will be run over two days instead of one – but there will still be action up the Prescott Hill Climb on the Sunday!
Held every year in Gloucestershire, this year’s dates for the family-friendly event (with a large Kid’s Zone) are the 14th-15th of April, the awesome Hill Climb being on Sunday, but there’s plenty to do on both days. On Saturday there will be ‘Electric Avenue’, with modern examples of electric bikes on display including Energica sportsbikes, to Super Soco commuters, and even an Electric Harley Davidson!
