The York Cycle Festival is proudly 100% volunteer-organised!
Three great cycling events come together in Summer 2024 on the Knavesmire in York, UK to create the North of England’s finest and most friendly festival of cycling, the York Cycle Festival 2024. The festival, and the events which make it up, are all 100% volunteer organised.
Come to see everything from major brands to specialist retailers in the trade show, and meet enthusiasts bringing amazing displays of the bikes they’re passionate about. Plus, pick up a bargain at the cycle jumble and auction! There’ll be great food, craft beer, live music, spectacular grasstrack racing and a full programme of led rides.
Parking, entry, rides and activities on site are all free of charge and all are welcome!
There’s camping on site for those who would like to make a weekend of it, or you’re very welcome to just come for the day. The site is accessible and family friendly – so please bring the kids – and entry for everyone is free!
Looking for more details? Find out more about each event by clicking on the event websites listed above. For visitor information, details of the campsite, how to get to the Festival, and similar, please see the York Rally website. We’ll migrate info common to all events at the Festival onto this website in due course.
Calling brands, retailers, clubs & other traders!
Trade show and exhibition space is free of charge with any campsite booking, or for just a nominal charge if you’re staying off-site (and we’ll waive even that for volunteer-run cycling organisations!).
