UP TO 200 motorcycles are expected to ride through Droitwich during the town's first-ever bike night.

Droitwich Spa will welcome bikers to cruise onto the High Street between 5pm and 9pm on Thursday, August 15.

Visitors can socialise with each other and share their passion for bikes.

Droitwich Spa Place Board has organised the event with support from Wychavon District Council and Droitwich Spa Town Council.

Tim Kirkham, organiser of Droitwich Bike Night and a member of Droitwich Spa Place Board, said: "We are delighted to be hosting the first Droitwich Bike Night event. 

"This is a fantastic opportunity for motorcycle enthusiasts to socialise, enjoy fantastic food and celebrate the joy of two wheels."

Businesses will offer food and drink, while several pubs in the town will offer specials on the night.

Cllr Richard Morris, Wychavon District Council's executive board member for economic growth and tourism, said: "This is another fantastic addition to Droitwich Spa's social calendar, which supports our aims to boost hospitality and the town's night-time economy.

"This will be the first of, what we hope will be, many new events visitors can enjoy in Droitwich Spa High Street."

To allow for the event to take place, Droitwich High Street will be closed to vehicles
