Good Friday’s Horsham Piazza Italia ‘Ferrari and Bike Friday’, organised by Horsham District Council, is already a firm favourite with anyone who has even the slightest interest in Ferraris and this year will be no exception.

As our video shows, last year’s event still attracted bumper crowds, despite the rain, to see the Ferraris and look around the numerous stalls.

Up to 200 Ducati led Italian motorbikes will be starting from Motori di Marino in West Chiltington before travelling in to Horsham town centre through the Carfax, where they will be on display either side of the Shelley Fountain and Bishopric at the end of West Street.
