Shelsley Walsh Bike Bonanza 2025: Speed, Celebrities, and a Dash of History

Rev your engines and mark your calendars! On Saturday, July 5, 2025, Shelsley Walsh, the UK’s oldest motorsport venue, will transform into a two-wheeled paradise for the annual Bike Bonanza. With over a century of motorsport history under its belt, the event promises an electrifying mix of high-speed hill climbs, celebrity appearances, and charity-driven camaraderie.

Fast Times and Good Causes

From 8 AM to 5 PM, adrenaline junkies and motorcycle enthusiasts will gather to witness live sprint action on the iconic 1000-yard 1:6 gradient track. Four championship classes from the National Hill Climb Association will compete for the fastest times, while sidecars, Morgan three-wheelers, and motorcycles of all kinds add variety to the spectacle.

The event also backs a noble cause, supporting the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, which has delivered life-saving medical responses since 1991. With three helicopters and over 74,000 incidents attended, every ticket sold contributes to this vital service.

Ride Like a Star

New for 2025, the Bonanza features a celebrity-led ride into the venue. Former Grand Prix legend Steve Parrish and a cadre of biking celebrities will lead the pack from Strensham Services on the M5, weaving through picturesque countryside before arriving at Shelsley Walsh.
