The huge MotoFest Coventry festival which celebrated its 10^th anniversary in 2024, will take a break for 2025, but there is still a lot going on. As well as regular Club MotoFest activity in and around Coventry taking place throughout the year, a smaller weekend of events will be held in Saturday 31^st May and Sunday 1^st June.

Many popular elements of the big festival will still be featured including the impressive classic vehicle displays in Broadgate, Coventry Concours in the Cathedral Ruins, and live motorsport in the Autotest Arena in Gosford Street under the famous Ring Road.

The weekend will fire up with the Motorcycle Ride-in which will still lap the Ring Road even though it will be fully open to regular traffic this year. This will be quickly followed by One Big Alarm which will feature on both Saturday and Sunday. The parade of police and emergency vehicles from around the world has proved a huge hit with festival goers in recent years and this year will fill Millennium Place in front of Coventry Transport Museum after they have completed their morning wake up call.

Jaguar will take a starring role over the weekend with special displays celebrating 50 years of the Jaguar XJS around the Coventry Concours area. Further content announcements will follow in the coming weeks.

James Noble, MotoFest Coventry Festival Director, said: “After 10 amazing years we felt it was right for MotoFest to take a break for 2025. But we couldn’t do nothing, and with 50 years of the Jaguar XJS to celebrate, a round of the Autotest Championship to host, parades, displays, and our award winning Coventry Concours all taking place, the weekend of the 31^st May and 1^st June will still be very special. MotoFest will be back in future years with exciting developments in live city centre motorsport in development”.

The 31^st May and 1^st June will feature a number of events dedicated to the city of Coventry’s motoring heritage.
