    To keep its visitors involved all four days of the Festival, Honda will host several activities for both car and bike enthusiasts. Car enthusiasts will get the chance to race these cars at Honda Stand, which will turn into a miniature race track to compete with special-edition remote control models. The company says that a live leader board and race footage will run on the big screen on the stand, with races also uploaded to a Youtube playlist, so that players can share those moments with others.

    To involve bikers, Honda will host an off-road experience, which will offer the chance to take to two wheels on a selection of the company's latest off-road motorcycles. Before actually experiencing it, riders will go through a specially created course where they will learn the basics of riding on dirt in 20 minute taster sessions, under the guidance of experienced instructors including three-time World Motocross Champion, Dave Thorpe and multiple British Motocross Champion, Stephen Sword. The models available to try will be the CRF50, CRF110, CRF125, CRF250L and CRF250X. No experience or licence required.

    Both of these activities will be hosted all four days of the Festival, scheduled from June 25th to June 29th.
