The National Motorcycle Museum celebrates its 30th anniversary this weekend and will open its doors to the public free of charge on Saturday for a special ‘Museum Live’ open day.
Ahead of Saturday’s open day the museum will host former Grand Prix racer and notorious prankster Steve Parrish for a special show as part of his 2014 M.A.D Tour.
Opening at 8:30am on Saturday morning, the Museum has organised a jam-packed schedule for visitors to enjoy, from opportunities to try riding for the first time to meeting Isle of Man TT racing heroes such as John McGuinness.
You can find out more about the National Motorcycle Museum and the event here.
