One biker, Rob Robinson, said the small Worcestershire town was never on his radar, but he loved finally visiting the area.

"It brings many people in, and there were many bikes, so there was plenty to see.

Rows and rows of bikes were on display. (Image: Richard Morris) "It brought people to Droitwoch, and it was not somewhere that was initially on my radar, nor had I been there."

The event was initially postponed in August after a short hiatus to allow time for arranging finer details.

People from various biking groups arrived at the event. (Image: Richard Morris) Droitwich Spa Place Board has organised the event with support from Wychavon District Council and Droitwich Spa Town Council.

Up to 200 motorcyclists rode into Droitwich High Street from 5pm to 9pm and parked their vehicles.

"The weather was great and it was a terrific evening. 

"It was terrific to see Droitwich pubs, coffee bars and food establishments being used so fully; here to the next one!

A spokesperson for Wychavon District Council said the event was amazing.

It added: "Last night, under a glorious sunset, around 200 motorcyclists revved their engines and cruised onto the High Street, joined by hundreds of enthusiastic locals and visitors.

Bikes of all shapes and sizes were there. (Image: Richard Morris) "The atmosphere was electric (petrol and diesel, too), with smiles, laughter, and the thrill of bikes everywhere you looked.

"The turnout confirmed a huge appetite for more events like this in our lovely town.

"Let’s keep the momentum going!"
