Scooter fans keep their engines running for weekend of music and madness in Skegness

The 11th annual Skegness Scooter Rally kicks off tonight (Friday) at two venues in the resort - The Suncastle and The Savoy Hotel.

Scooter fans will enjoy Northern Soul music with guest DJ's and music artists, as well as a rideout from the Suncastle on North Parade on Saturday afternoon.

This years event is being supported by Visit Lincs Coast (BID). One of the organisers, Tracey Robinson, said they are delighted to be back after missing last year due to Covid-19.

"It was obviously postponed last year, although we held a virtual rally in its place which was a great success, so I think everyone is just looking forward to being together again," said Tracey. "It is usually the first Bank holiday in May but of course had to be pushed back this year due to restrictions.

"We're set up ready- all we need now is the scooter riders."
