This year’s motorcade will take place on Saturday December 9.
Santa’s on a Bike will see hundreds of motorcyclists gather at the TT Grandstand for a merry motorcade and festive celebrations, all in aid of Rebecca House Children’s Hospice.
John Knight, Chief Executive of Hospice Isle of Man said: ‘The journey begins at the world-famous TT Grandstand, following the iconic TT course until we reach Ballig Bridge, where we’ll make a left turn and head to Peel. Once into Peel riders will then take the A1 toward St John’s before making a right at Tynwald. As we ride through Foxdale and past the MSPCA before continuing our journey, we’ll pass through Braaid and make a left at Cooil Roundabout. Finally, we’ll complete our festive ride by taking a left at the Quarter Bridge, reaching our heartwarming finish line at Rebecca House.’
Nicola Patterson, event organiser and chief people officer at plan.com, added: ‘Despite last year’s weather conditions forcing us to cancel the event, we hope to see an even greater number of riders and spectators joining in this time around. As always, we’re so grateful for the support we receive, from the riders and spectators to local company sponsorship and the Isle of Man Constabulary. The Isle of Man is the home of motorcycling, so it’s the perfect place to bring everyone together to spread some festive cheer in aid of such a worthwhile cause.’
The festive fun will kick off from 9am with food, drink, and entertainment for all the family at the Grandstand. The riders will set off at 10am prompt, arriving at the Rebecca House finish from lunchtime, where the festivities will be in full swing.
ne! One of the most enchanting aspects of the motorcade of merriness is the incredible creativity and dedication displayed by our riders through their costumes and bike decorations. From sparkling tinsel to Rudolph teddies, our riders go all out to spread the holiday cheer. So, be sure to make your way to a part of the route near you!
