Rain stops play: Romney Marsh Classic Show is cancelled

The Romney Marsh Classic Bike Jumble that was due to take place on Sunday 7th May at Hamstreet in Kent has been cancelled due to the recent rain.

Event Organiser Julie Diplock from Elk Promotions said: “Sadly, the recent rainfall has left much of the ground waterlogged, and due to the amount of standing water the site will not be usable. Despite best efforts, we have been unable to find a suitable alternative venue at short notice.” 

She added: “We apologise for any disappointment, and hope that ticket-holders and exhibitors can join us at our next event on Sunday 25th June.”

Pre-booked tickets will be moved to the following event at Romney Marsh on 25th June and exhibitors are being contacted by the organisers individually.

One of the largest events in the classic calendar, Romney Marsh is an all-motorcycle grass-roots ‘jumble, featuring stalls of new and used spares and plenty of projects.

This year was to include Twenty Flight Rock to play hits from the 50s and during the event.
