A free cycling festival will take place in Hull and Blackpool to celebrate the 2026 Tour of Britain men and women’s races.
The women’s race gets under way on 19 August, while the men’s race starts on 2 September.
Families will be able to take part in cycling-themed activities in Blackpool on 20 August and Hull on 4 September from 11:00 until 14:00 BST on both days.
Jonathan Day, director of events at British Cycling Ventures, said last year’s festival “brought the community together, creating a real showcase of what the joy of cycling can bring to people”.
The women will race through Cockermouth, Clitheroe, Blackpool, Mold, Llandudno, Llanidloes and Hay-on-Wye, before finishing in Royal Leamington Spa on 23 August.
In Blackpool, the festival activities will open before the race finishes outside the Solaris Centre, on New South Promenade.
