Thundersprint - May 2011

The word unique is much over-used but in the case of the Thundersprint Festival it is completely accurate. Motorcycling spectacular, family fun day and fine food festival - Thundersprint is all these and much more. In fact, there’s nothing like the Thundersprint anywhere in the world.

Turn one corner and there is a 1960s Grand Prix motorcycle star munching on a home made wild boar pie. Walk round the next and find the British Superbike Champion mingling with Morris Dancers and jazz bands: it can only be the Thundersprint!

Incredibly, for an event of its size and quality, spectator entry to the Thundersprint is free, as is parking, but arriving early is recommended because Northwich gets very busy. The Thundersprint is very family friendly and welcomes well-behaved pets. Facilities for the disabled are first class with free parking right in the centre of the show.
