Great Yarmouth Wheels Festival 2018
Our 2018 Wheels Festival was a great success with a visit from over 15,000 motorbikes as part of the Motorcycle Takeover on the Saturday and over 150 cars taking part in Centre 81's Car & Bike Rally on Sunday. This event has grown and grown with more cars, trucks, vans and special vehicles on display each year.
If you would like to find out more, please contact us.
Head to Great Yarmouth's seafront on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 July when an array of classic and contemporary vehicles will be lining up to star in a seafront wheels festival.
The Great Yarmouth Motorcyle Takeover will be joining forces with GY Wheels Festival again this year, with around 15,000 motorbikes descending on to the seafront on the Saturday.
Centre 81 will once again be holding their Classic Car and Bike Run and Show on the Sunday with a 60 mile ride out starting from Cromer (Runton Road car park). The run finishes at Great Yarmouth where the Show part will carry on. Cars taking part in Centre 81's show will be judged on various categories including 'Best in Show', 'Oldies but Goodies' and 'The I'm Exhausted Award'.
Admission to the event which will mainly be found near Britannia Pier, Anchor Gardens and the Sea Life Centre Gardens is FREE.
We'll also be joined by British Mini Bikes, Clive Shaw Trucking, an F1 simulator, Norfolk Clasic Fire Engines, Peter Doige Car Audio, some local car dealerships and lots more!
Car clubs will also be a big part of the festival with cars coming from Low Riders, East Coast Pirates Car Club, BMW Club, Autobahn Stormers Car Club and Norfolk Mini Club Enthusiasts. Not just for car clubs though, there will also be lots of vehicles on display including a vintage Austin truck, a custom mini plus cars that have been restored and upgraded.
The event is brought to you by Great Yarmouth Borough Council in conjunction with Greater Yarmouth Tourism and Business Improvement Area Ltd and Joyland.
There will be a road closure in place on Marine Parade from Britannia Pier up to and including the junction of St Peters Road which also includes the side roads that come out on to Marine Parade.
