This year we are also offering the hire of Bell Tents (see below for further details). Saturday will be the Bike Show, The Happening charity auction, various stalls, painters, bike builders on show. With more bands in the evening.
The event has a 500 person limit so book early to avoid disappointment on the day.

bike show

• Invited bikes get FREE entry
Invites will be given out by us at events throughout the year and if those bikes are pre-registered by 31st August,
they will be issued an entry number and the bike and the owner will get free entry into the show. 

• Pre-registered bikes get FREE entry
Anyone who has an album of their build on the page can ask to pre-register their bike by 31st August.
Anyone without a build album of their bike on the page who wants to pre-register, will need to provide
their bike as content for an album before the pre-registration cut off date. If accepted they will be issued 
an entry number.

• On the Gate: £25 Friday (weekend ticket) or £15 Saturday  
Anyone who turns up on the day at the gate with a bike for the Show and who has not pre-registered will need
to pay the full entry fee. Entries on the day if accepted, will be given an entry number, but cannot be guaranteed
a plinth in the Show Marquee (there will be space on the grass available outside) and will not get a write up
next to their bike but they will still be eligible for all trophy categories.

Our trophies will again be hand-cast by the fantastic 'Artisan Uprising' who will have their Forge on-site.

 

The Show will be judged by Twisted Iron and Blue Miller – Editor of 100% Biker Magazine

Trophy categories are:

- Extreme Performance Modified
- Best Styling 
- Best Paint 
- 'Work in Progress' (WIP)
- Best Engineering
- Best In Show

(NEW CATEGORY) Extreme Performance Modified 

Twisted Iron are very pleased to announce a new category at The Happening Bike Show this year. Joining the array of impressive
and unique builds in 2017 will be a category for ‘Extreme Performance Modified’ which will appeal to the many Performance
Street-Special builds out there. We are very pleased to announce this new class will be supported by our latest sponsor, 'Lonsdale Customs'. Bikes in this class should be road bikes, and pre-register in the usual way through our website. We at Twisted Iron will be looking for the same high standard of genuine garage builds for this category.


The 'MOB Rule Trophy' is voted for by the audience on the day and the trophy will be a one-off piece of artwork unique to this category.
