A local charity will run its 47th annual motorcycle 'Egg Run' in Stoke-on-Trent this weekend. 

The Star Bikers Charity Egg Run will be setting off from the Bet365 Stadium at 11am this Sunday (15 March).

Hundreds of motorcyclists from across the region are expected to join the parade through the city which will conclude at Kings Hall with an after party for participants and spectators.

A spokesperson for Star Bikers Charity said: "The Egg Run is more than just a motorcycle ride. It's a powerful demonstration of what our community can achieve when we come together.

"For 47 years, local bikers and residents have helped us bring smiles to children's faces at Easter.

"We're incredibly proud to continue that tradition in 2026."

The parade will take the following route and residents have been asked to expect short delays on the following roads between 11am and 2pm. Members of the public will be able to track both the front and rear of the parade live via the Star Bikers website.

The aim of the Star Bikers Charity Egg Run is to bring together bikers and the wider community to support children and families in need by donating Easter eggs to local charities and vulnerable families across the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire area.

Participants are asked to contribute a minimum £2 donation per rider and at least one Easter egg and spectators are "warmly encouraged" to donate Easter eggs directly to riders as the parade passes.

There is also an after party at Kings Hall which will feature indoor and outdoor stalls selling homemade food and gifts, and hot food and drinks will be available to purchase.

The Egg Run follows the success of the charity's 47th Toy Run which took place in November last year and raised money and collected donations of unwrapped toys to help families and children in the local area.
