It’s festival time!
The Devitt MCN Festival is back – bigger and better than ever!
The Devitt MCN Festival of Motorcycling returns to the East of England Arena on September 4-5 with a huge line-up of entertainment, bargains, live music, test rides, live action and so much more. It’s the best bike show in the UK and here are seven reasons why you’d be crazy to miss it…
Moped Mayhem
The madcap endurance race that was the highlight of the old BMF shows in the 1980s and 90s is making its long awaited comeback. Known for its wild racing, huge grid, eclectic machines and raucous paddock atmosphere, it doesn’t get more grass roots than Moped Mayhem!
2021 test rides
The festival is the only place in the UK where you can ride the latest 2021 bikes from all the major manufacturers all in the same place. There are hundreds of test ride slots all up for grabs from cruisers to sportsbikes to learner-friendly machines. No pre-booking is necessary, just bring your lid and licence and sign up on the day.
Dirt track racing
The Dirt Track Riders Association will be holding a packed round of proper racing at the festival. One of the most exciting (and coolest) series in the UK, races include everything from junior (seven-11 year olds), the dramatic Hooligan class and, new for this year, a race for electric bikes.
Extreme Bike Battle stunt show
Combining BMX, trials and a high flying FMX show, Extreme Bike Battle is one of the most thrilling stunt shows in the UK. From inch perfect trials and BMX tricks to the incredible aerial displays of the FMX riders, the Extreme Bike Battle is a demonstration of supreme bike control.
And there’s more… the supremely talented Two Brothers and JD Stunts will be thrilling the crowds in the stunt zone with their high-speed shows packed with world-class adrenalinefuelled riding skills.
Kit & kaboodle
If it’s bargains you’re after then the festival is the place to be. We’ve got acres of retail stands selling everything from discounted clothing to top notch gear from premier brands.
Or if you’re looking for an elusive part to finally finish that project bike – you’re in luck. The autojumble is back for this year and there will be project bikes and spares for machines of all sizes, makes and ages.
Classic two-stroke display
Yamaha’s beloved RD LC was 40 years old in 2020 and we’re creating an extra special belated birthday party at the Devitt MCN Festival with a two-stroke display, fire ups and stage talks. Plus, if you turn up on a twostroke over 125cc you can park in the VIP bike park, Elsie’s Shed.
British Mini Bikes
One of the most vibrant and exciting race series in the UK, the British Mini Bike championship will be showcasing demonstration laps over the weekend. With riders competing from just seven years old the skill is both jawdropping and inspirational.
