Welcome to the

Chester Light Parade

Saturday April 21st 2012

Details are being published here as they emerge about an additional and new type of GoldWing Light Parade.

It will provide Wingers with an opportumity to park and display their bikes in the pedestrianised streets of the ancient City of Chester during the Saturday afternoon and/or ride in a police-escorted Light Parade through the City in the evening.

The Chester end of things is being organised (and marshalled) by Chester Lions as part of a Charity Day which is expected to raise over £10,000!

Accommodation has been organised by GoldWings North Wales at a Hotel just outside the City at an incredible bargain rate for the Friday and/or Saturday nights.

A social evening is likely at the Hotel for the Saturday (after the Parade) and there is also the possibility of something really special for the Sunday – watch this space!

Welcome to the

Southport Light Parade

September 22nd 2012

The most famous and longest-running annual GoldWing Light Parade in the UK will take place on the evening of September 22nd 2012 in Southport, “England’s Classic Resort”.

This Website will tell you all you need to know about enjoying the most fun to be had riding on or watching Illuminated GoldWing Motorcycles in a magnificent spectacle in and around Southport. Visit here regularly to keep up with the latest news and be the first in the know as more and more detail about the Parade and associated activities is revealed. Meet the people, hear the stories of their triumphs and tribulations as this magnificent Charity Event takes shape.

Those of you who are old hands can expect the usual package of a static daytime bike display, followed by a Light Parade around the crowd-lined streets of the Town at dusk, followed by a competition and photo opportunity at a display of the illuminated bikes.

We have also negotiated a stunning deal on accommodation and entertainment for 2012 with the Prince of Wales Hotel, so that everyone who chooses to can make a sociable weekend break of it. We will also have an arrangement with a nearby campsite for people who wish to bring their own accommodation.

The Organisers of the event would like to thank Wingers in the UK for their support over the years in Blackpool and Llandudno and invite them to try out this new venue, where we have already been met with good support from the local council and businesses.

Lots of photos and videos from the past Parades and the associated weekend social activities in Blackpool and Llandudno are still available in our Gallery.

If you haven’t participated in – or watched – one of our GoldWing Light Parades before, please take a look through the albums there to get a taste for what to expect in Southport.

Come to Southport as a participant if you have a GoldWing, as a motorcycle trader to support your customers…. or as one of the thousands of holiday-making spectators enjoying Southport and this spectacular Charity Event (as that’s why we’re doing it!).
