Wednesday 10 August will see Gostrey Meadow transformed into an arena for breath-taking stunts on mountain and BMX bikes as well as stunning parkour routines.
The show from the team at the Extreme Mountain Bike Show takes place from 12-5pm and will bring a stunning spectacle to Farnham’s otherwise leafy park. It is aimed at teenagers and families and is supported by a free shuttle bus service from local residential areas.
“If you saw the Extreme Mountain Bike Show when it last visited Farnham, you can expect bigger ramps and even more impressive performances. If you haven’t seen it before, I promise you will be wowed! The team are all former pros with immense skill and nerves of steel,” says Councillor Kika Mirylees Lead Member for Tourism and Events.
She continues: “The show is free to watch. By bringing it to Farnham, we want to give young people and families a free afternoon’s entertainment and the chance to hang out with friends. There will be a DJ playing throughout the afternoon, street food on sale from the fantastic Funky Pickle and free transport.”
There will be BMX, mountain bike trials and parkour show sets at 1pm, 2.30pm and 4pm. After the show, the team from the Extreme Mountain Bike are looking forward to spending time chatting to members of the audience and posing for photos.
The hoppa shuttle bus will operate from locations around Farnham to and from the event throughout the afternoon, enabling youngsters to travel there and home again safely and for free. Stops announced so far include Sandy Hill, Wrecclesham and Badshot Lea. Further details and additional stops will be announced nearer the time. Check www.farnham.gov.uk for the latest information.
