A DATE has been set for this year’s Hoggin’ the Bridge event, after last year’s staging raised more than £15,000 for charity.

The event, which sees thousands of bikers get together, takes place on October 16.

Riders will leave the M48 Aust services at 11am and be escorted over the old Severn Bridge, up the M48, to Magor and Caldicot before finishing in Chepstow town centre.

A number of bands will be playing there following the ride, with refreshments available.

Anyone who wants to take part can register at www.hogginthebridge.co.uk, or pay on the day at the services.

Marshals are also needed for the event.
