A TANG of petrol and the roar of engines is filling the air in Cassington tonight.

The annual Cassington Bike Night is well under way, with thousands of motorcycles expected before the evening is out.

Bikers have hit the highway and headed to the West Oxfordshire village on the last Monday of June for the past three decades.

The road through the village will remain closed throughout the event, which raises money for the village's playgroup and school.
