A REDDITCH pub is gearing up to host a family-friendly festival aimed at lovers of motorcycles.

In conjunction with The Royal Enfield Owners Club, The Duck Inn, on Pheasant Lane, will showcase a festival over the August Bank Holiday Weekend called Bikefest.

A range of classic motorcycles will be on display both days for enthusiasts to enjoy.

The festival will feature live music on both days, including Thin Lizzy tribute act Dizzy Lizzy, and classic rock and blues band English Electric Lightning

The event will also feature an open mic/ jam session, a rodeo bull competition, and face painting. Wristbands can be bought from the pub.

Motorcycle fans are also welcomed to bring along their own bikes to the festival, which will take place on Saturday, August 28 and Sunday, August 29.

Publican Vicki Gaffey said: “It’s just a great relief we can start to have some normality back after all the Covid lockdowns and restrictions.

"I can now start hosting the live music and events I planned for The Duck Inn in 2020.

"Plus, I must say the support me and the team have had from the public during this time has been fantastic and we’ve had such good feedback so far on making this a family friendly place to visit.”
