The date ties in with the planned lifting of restrictions for events to be able to take place, as outlined in the government’s roadmap out of lockdown. However, there will still need to be Covid measures in place, including maintaining social distancing. There will be marshals on duty, and attendees will be asked to take note of any on-site signage, especially regarding parking of bikes.

The restart date is subject to the government maintaining its current roadmap timetable. If the dates change over the coming weeks, the plans to restart the event will be amended accordingly.

Season ticket armbands will cost £5.50 – an amount adjusted to take account of the start date. They will be available to purchase from the Tourist Information Centre in Poole Museum from 1 May.
