Head to Great Yarmouth's seafront where you will find a wide range of bikes, classic and contemporary cars lining up to star in a seafront wide Wheels Festival.
Great Yarmouth seafront will be transformed into a celebration of everything 'wheels' next month in a two-day extravaganza of cars, heart-stopping stunts, superbikes and classic cars.
Organised for the first time this year by Visit Great Yarmouth, some of the acts appearing are the Ken Fox Hell Riders who race around the 20ft high vertical wall of death on vintage Indian Scout motorcycles and are back by popular demand with a show that has wowed the public for 100 years. The noise, speed, smell and closeness of the bikes - ridden all the way to the very top of the wall within inches of the audience - willl draw in the crowds.
Guinness world record holders Stannage International Stunt Team will be performing two shows a day. The team is a true family affair and has performed worldwide since 2000 with fire and high fall stunts.
Also on the programme is a Formula One car simulator and an historic working aeroplane engine will also be on display complete with its propellers.
New for 2024 brings comedy gold Titan the Robot. The 8ft tall Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist will arrive on its vehicle to deliver the ultimate family show that has entertained children and adults in more than 50 countries.
Continuing the traditional theme of mixing new and old, state-of-the-art Tesla electric cars will be offering drive outs while Roger Blighty, a whacky bike-plane pilot whizzes up and down the seafront on his bicycle with bi-plane wings.
Emergency vehicles, superbikes, classic cars, and old military vehicles are all on the programme for the eighth Great Yarmouth Wheels Festival on Saturday June 29 and Sunday June 30.
More than 500 cars are expected to line up along the seafront for a mega 2.5km vehicle display, which organisers hope will match the 50,000 locals, daytrippers and holidaymakers who flocked to the Golden Mile event last year.
