To make the event happen and allow us to give so generously to our selected charities we ask for help, and every year the fantastic business community in and around Wiltshire answer our call.
The Calne Bike Meet is and will always be a free event. It’s for the benefit of the town and the motorcycling community more widely.
However, while the best things in life might well be free, there are many things that aren’t and a lot of those are needed to make sure the Calne Bike Meet is a safe and comfortable event for people of all ages and abilities.
