You can’t. The majority of MotoFest is a free, non-ticketed event with all expenses covered by our lovely exhibitors, sponsors and partners. All you have to do is turn up!

Please note a small number of elements will require tickets due to limited capacity. See the details on the event schedule here.

Is MotoFest really free?

Yes! The costs associated with MotoFest are all covered by revenue generated from exhibitor fees, sponsorship deals and support from our wonderful volunteers and partners. A full list of MotoFest sponsors and partners can found here.

Is MotoFest good for Coventry?

MotoFest is great for Coventry. It raises the profile of the city for the right reasons, boosts the local economy massively and fosters hope.
Not only does MotoFest give us an opportunity to celebrate our heritage and our future, but it invites people from all over to come and join the party. Plus, it’s always nice to have a free festival on your doorstep – why not come along and see what all the fuss is about?

What time does MotoFest end?

The MotoFest Month 2021 events and actives will be spread out over a whole month running from 17th July – 8th August 2021. For the timings of each event please see the full schedule here.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes, please do! MotoFest is a safe, welcoming, family-friendly event. We do recommend you bring ear defenders for young and noise-sensitive children as the event can be very loud at times. We are sure your kids will love some of everything MotoFest has to offer, but we do have specifically family-friendly content that they definitely won’t want to miss! Find out more here.

Is MotoFest accessible for all?

Yes – MotoFest is designed to be accessible to absolutely everybody. It is based in the heart of Coventry, one of the UK’s most accessible cities, and all of our venues have step-free access. If you are worried about anything, or require any special provisions then please drop an email to contact@coventrymotofest.com and we’ll do our best to meet your needs.

How will travel be affected?

We work hard with local organisations to minimise travel disruption during MotoFest. However, for the safety of attendees and locals certain roads will be closed for the Motorcycle Weekend (24th and 25th July) and some bus will be re-routed. Otherwise, we have minimised our travel disruption for the remainder of MotoFest Month 2021. However, please be prepared for delays on 24th and 25th July and 4th and 5th August 2021.

Where can I park at MotoFest?

There is a range of car parks available across MotoFest weekend, spread across the city centre. Equally, there are ways of parking further out of town and using public transport to get into the city centre. To find out more look here!

Can I bring my dog?

MotoFest is held in Coventry city centre so there is no restriction against bringing fluffy friends along. However, do bear in mind that it can get very loud and busy during the festival, and we’d hate for them to get upset. You know your pet best, but it may be best to leave Bruno at home this time.
