With less than a month to go, Bike Bonanza returns to Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb on Saturday 4 July 2026, promising an action-packed celebration of motorcycling with more than 100 machines competing on the famous hill climb course.
From classic racers and historic motorcycles to modern superbikes and championship contenders, visitors can enjoy full-throttle competition, demonstration runs, live music, special displays, and appearances from motorcycle legends including Charley Boorman and Steve “Stavros” Parrish. Highlights include rare race bikes once ridden by stars such as David Jefferies, Cal Crutchlow and James Toseland, alongside an incredible collection of famous movie motorcycles brought by renowned Triumph collector Dick Shepherd, featuring machines from James Bond, Jurassic World and more.
New for 2026, Bike Bonanza welcomes the acclaimed KICKBACK custom motorcycle showcase, bringing handcrafted specials, choppers and unique engineering creations to Shelsley Walsh. The popular Midlands Air Ambulance Charity Ride-In also returns, led by Steve Parrish, giving riders the opportunity to enjoy a scenic ride and parade run up the hill while supporting a vital cause. Motorcycle clubs are warmly welcomed with discounted entry and dedicated club parking, while a limited number of competition entries remain available for riders wanting to tackle the iconic course themselves. Taking place from 9am to 5:30pm, Bike Bonanza promises a fantastic day of racing, entertainment, motorcycles and camaraderie for enthusiasts of all ages.
