Hundreds of motorbikes are finally set to cruise through a Worcestershire town after the event's organisers were forced to postpone it.

Preparations are revving up for Droitwich's first-ever Bike Night this month after a short hiatus to allow time for arranging finer details. 

But the event is finally back up and running as organisers revealed it will now host the event on Thursday, October 17.

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."

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

Up to 200 motorcyclists are set to cruise into the High Street from 5pm to 9pm and park their vehicles.

A spokesperson for Wychavon District Council said: "Get your motor runnin’ because the previously postponed Droitwich Spa event is revving up for its first-ever Bike Night on Thursday, October 17.

"Whether you're a biker or just a fan of the roar of engines, this is an event you don’t want to miss.

"Food and drink will be available to fuel your ride, and our lovely local pubs will be running special offers to raise a toast to all you two-wheeled thrill-seekers.

"So shift gear, grab your gear, and head into Droitwich Spa for a night of fun, friends, and fantastic bikes.

"Don't forget to spread the word and let's all get motor-vated together."

All attendees must have motor insurance and on the day Droitwich High Street will be closed from 4pm to 9.30pm.

In the event of heavy rain, Bike Night will be cancelled.

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."
