BRIGG BIKE NIGHT 2018 TO ATTRACT FOUR-FIGURE CROWD - HERE'S OUR PREVIEW


Brigg Bike Night 2018 is expected to attract a crowd of 1,000 to 1,500 people to the town on Friday, July 6, from 5pm onwards into late evening.
The free-to-attend event will be centred on Bridge Street, between the Yarborough Hunt pub and the County Bridge.
To assist first-time visitors locate the venue, the postcode is DN20 8NS.
There will be classic British BSAs, Nortons, Triumphs and Velocettes alongside more modern models like Hondas, Kawasakis and Yamahas - all kept in gleaming condition by their proud owners.
The event is being co-ordinated from the Yarborough Hunt, whose landlady  Lucy Fensome was instrumental in getting Brigg Bike Night going again a few years ago.
Volunteer marshals will offer invaluable support.
Refreshments will be available along Bridge Street and at fast food outlets and pubs within the town centre.
At the Woolpack Hotel, in the Market Place, Otto and the Dude will be performing live music from 8.30pm.
Down at the Britannia Inn, on Wrawby Street, where a new meals menu has just been launched, there will be hits of the 1960s to enjoy.
Sadly, the Nelthorpe Arms recently closed - its beer garden being a popular port of call for many visitors to Bike Night.
So that will mean additional trade for other local hostelries, including the White Hart, on the opposite side of Bridge Street, which also has a beer garden overlooking the Old River Ancholme.
