The Isle of Wight will be awash with scooters once more returning for the World’s largest Scooter Rally, scooterists will arrive from all parts of the UK and Europe.
The Rally is held principally in Ryde over the August Bank Holiday weekend with entertainment laid on throughout the town. Last year for the first time live entertainment was made available outside Ryde Superbowl in the form of a DJ playing a variety of crowd pleasing music from across the decades throughout the event weekend, while other scooter related festivities and events were staged on a daily basis across Ryde.
As the Scooter Rally has grown over the past decade local businesses and the community have come to embrace the event and enjoy the vast array of scooters and scooterists that come to the Island.
