York Cycle Festival

10/06/2026

The Yorkshire Cycle Festival at Driffield Showground is this weekend! And the weather forecast just gets better and better.

There's free entry, free parking and free activities for day visitors, still plenty of space on the campsite for on-the-day pitch bookings, a huge trade show and cycle jumble, many led rides, great displays, chopper racing and more. A great weekend activity or free day out for the family.

Here's our final update with full arrival details for campers and day visitors - we hope to see you there! https://yorkrally.org/2026/06/10/its-this-weekend/

Just one week to go until the Yorkshire Cycle Festival at Driffield Showground, on the 12-14 June! There's free entry and free parking for all day visitors, and also camping and glamping available on site. Campsite bookings are looking great (advance bookings close tonight!), we have a fantastic programme of rides, masses of traders and jumble sellers are booked in, there will be spectacular arena events to join or watch, and an exciting new focus on 20" wheels with our friends from the BMX and Chopper worlds. And as you'll see from the forecast, we've even booked perfect cycling weather for the weekend!

We would like to give heartfelt thanks to all of the club cyclists, as well as those from our own organising committee, who have made it possible to offer such a varied and interesting rides programme for this year.
As in previous years, it isn't possible to register for these rides until you arrive at the Festival in person. There are two rides, offered by British Cycling's Breeze partnership, which can be booked in advance of the Festival https://www.letsride.co.uk/breeze
