Boyds of Bedford - Closed for Business

After 6 fantastic years, we have decided to take an indefinate hiatus from our clothing brand, but will be keeping the Boyds name alive with Boyds Cult & Classic , Boyds Printworks and Dan will be continuing with his incredible photography over at Slapp Industries

We hope to return in a few years, bigger and better, but please come and say goodbye at The Winter Blast.

Thanks for your support. Tom, Jess and Dan.

THE WINTER BLAST 2024

The Winter Blast is literally the coolest celebration of independant business, custom culture and motorcycles on the planet.

This year the event is extra special as Boyds of Bedford will be taking an extended hiatus after the event so we plan to use this as a bit of a send off. Please click the button below to learn more, and get your tickets!

What can you expect from the day?

Show bikes, live music, food, traders, live painting, DJs and all round good festive vibes. It is an indoor event, but given the time of year, please dress warm as it is a big old space to heat!This event is growing every year so there will be a 500 capacity limit on ticket sales to ensure that there is room for everyone, especially as people are travelling from all over to attend.Doors open at 11am and the show finishes at 5pm. There is seating, beer and entertainment to encourage you to stay and enjoy the party all day.Two years ago it was -3 degrees and last year was 12 degrees, so you may not wish to ride, but there is parking on-site and we will have marshalls to help direct you when that fills up, as there are overflow options or just general parking in Rushden.

Tickets are £5 (plus booking fee) in advance, £7 on the door if there are any left.

PLEASE NOTE ATTENDANCE IS CAPPED AT 500 SO BUY AN ADVANCE TICKED TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.
