This year's Race Retro event will feature a tribute to classic motorcycle manufacturer Norton.
A range of classic bikes from the manufacturer will be on show at the event, alongside other special creations from the world of motorcycling.
Two bikes that are due to appear at the show are a 1956 Norton Model F 350 and a 1960 350cc Lowboy, both from the Sammy Miller Museum.
The Lowboy was designed to minimise wind drag through utilising its lower than normal frame, but the bike did not have the race success that had been envisioned by its creators.
Motorcycle insurance customers may also be interested in catching a glimpse of a machine that will be challenging the motorcycle land speed record later this year.
The Angelic Bulldog team will be showing their 2.3-litre, 700 horsepower machine to the crowds, giving show attendees the opportunity to see the machine that could bring the record back to the UK for the first time in decades.
As well as showcasing a range of motorbikes, the Race Retro show also features numerous classic cars. The show is scheduled to run from March 12th-14th.
