2026 Yorkshire Cycle Festival: final campsite details!
This mailing is sent to you in connection with your Yorkshire Cycle Festival campsite booking. See our full privacy policy.
|
Many thanks booking your 2026 Yorkshire Cycle Festival campsite pitch in advance. We can't wait to see you this weekend, and here are some final details for a smooth arrival and stay.
|
Site plan
When to arrive
Please aim to arrive after 3pm on Friday. As below, campsite check-in will open ASAP after 3pm. but please be aware that our volunteer set-up team cannot usually complete the campsite set-up and final safety checks until 4pm, so you will not be able to go onto your pitch before 4pm.
|
If you do arrive before 3pm that is no problem - please just park up safely in the day visitor parking. But please be aware that site site-up will be ongoing and we will not yet be set up for visitors. If you do come on site please take extra care as motor vehicles may be moving around.
|
Where to arrive
You’ll then be marshalled to park up so that you can check in on foot before you move onto the campsite itself – please just follow our volunteer marshalls' directions.
|
Checking in
You will need to visit the campsite check-in Portacabin (again, see site plan) to check in and receive details of your allocated pitch, before you move onto the campsite itself.
|
- If you arrive by bike or on foot, you can go straight to the check-in. We will open as soon as possible after 3pm on Friday.
- If you arrive in a motor vehicle, please park up as directed in the main day visitor car park or overflow parking (in South Field). Please go on foot or by bike to the campsite check-in, which will be open for pre-booked campers as soon as we can after Friday 3 pm. We cannot allow motor vehicles onto the main campsite before 4 pm on Friday: the volunteer set-up team needs the time to fully prepare the site and make it safe.
- You do not need to bring any printout of your booking or to show us confirmation emails - we will have details of your booking and you can just check in by name. But if there are any changes, please let us know at check-in.
- Campers arriving on the Friday should note that there will be food and drink available on Friday from 4pm from our caterers on site – please support the on-site vendors, as a percentage of the takings goes to help support the Festival.
- Campsite check-in will be open until around 11am on Saturday morning. If you arrive after that in a motor vehicle please park up in the day visitors parking and come by foot or by bike to the Info Hub in the Members Pavilion so that we can check you in there before moving you onto the campsite. Anyone coming by bike or on foot can just come straight to the Info Hub.
Please also note:
- The camping fee covers Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. The site must be vacated by 10am prompt on Monday morning please.
- The site speed limit for ALL vehicles is 5 mph. This includes cyclists! The site may well be busy with cyclists, pedestrians and/or dogs who may be too busy enjoying themselves to be aware of approaching vehicles.
- No motor vehicles are permitted in the lightweight camping area. Anyone wishing to camp in this area with a motor vehicle must park it in the day visitior car park.
- Please read and note the campsite rules which you can find on the campsite booking page, especially the need for quiet after 11pm. Your neighbour on the campsite may be rising early for a ride. Please always use the many toilet facilities on site even if a short walk is involved - we are informed by our Driffield Showground hosts that the fields do not need any extra fertilising!
- If you have any problem on the campsite, issues with noisy neighbours or anything else, please do let one of the organising team know - if you cannot find anyone please use the enquiries phone number below. We would rather sort it out than have you unhappy.
- And please be extra patient with our all-volunteer organising team if there are any glitches - this will be our first time at Driffield and the new venue may throw up some surprises. We'll do our very best to ensure everything runs smoothly, but please bear with us.
Donations of items welcome!
Donations of cycling items (except complete bikes and clothing) are welcome to raise funds for the event. We’ll have a table set aside in the Rix Pavilion for sellable donated cycling gear. All parts and accessories (except clothing and complete bikes) are very welcome. Please bring your donations to the Rix Pavilion as early as possible during the event. All funds raised go to support the Festival.
|
The Bygone Bykes (Yorkshire) stand will also have an area where you can donate less sellable items for other visitors to pick up for free.
|
