FRI 25th OCT 7.15pm - 11.45pm ACCRINGTON TOWN HALL

Sponsored by Coach House and North Lancs Training Group, Bike Fest saw businesses and community groups come together, providing a great day out for all ages. Murray Dawson, Chairman of the #AmazingAccrington initiative said: "It was such a wonderful day, we have already confirmed the date for next year! Sunday 5th April, 2020 , get it into your diary! I encourage anyone who wants to be part of this to get in touch soon as we already have lots of confirmed stall holders. This event was truly a community event, for the community. It was made possible through volunteers, businesses and individuals coming together and really inspired people to get up and active. We had a huge amount of information available for visitors, not only could they have a go at making a smoothie on a bike, with Go Velo, they could have a check-up with the ‘bike doctor', get their bike security marked by the British Transport Police, pick up some free seeds from Incredible Edibles or have a chat with Love to Ride about how to get started with keeping fit on a bike.. just to name a few! This event wouldn't have been possible without the support from the sponsors, Coach House and North Lancs Training Group, plus all the stalls and volunteers who attended on the day. It was wonderful to see the Property Shop Arena full of people and families having fun, ice cream and pies fromClayton Park Bakery who are just down the road too!" Gareth Lindsay, Managing Director at North Lancs Training Group, said: "The event was a huge success, we met some wonderful people and there were also 15 bikes donated on the day! In partnership with Lancashire County Council we are making a real difference with our bike revival scheme, where they're taken out of landfill and we refurbish them, then donate them to charity. It's the students that do this, it's practical hands-on work, they really enjoy it and learn lots of new skills which is our aim. We are based in Accrington and if anyone wants to get involved in this kind of thing
