Weather! The weather could be dodgy. We have brought in our wet weather
contingency programme, and have moved most of the Show into the splendid
buildings at the Racecourse. Most of the bikes will still be operating on the
tracks, but we have also set up a busy indoor programme of activities and
entertainments: exhibitor stands, bike doctor maintenance demos, win-a-bike
competitions, illustrated talks by big names in cycling, cycling films,
pedal-powered Scalectrix racing, historic bike demos, bike displays, advice
from experts, etc. You’ll still get a great day out for your fiver, so don’t be
put off!

The Get Cycling Show will be open from 10.00 till 6.00 on the 25th and 26th May 2008.

We've got a full show, with the best and most interesting aspects of British cycling represented. The Show team is working its socks off to bring you a show which we hope will be something special.

Here's some of what we've got so far. We lsit below some of the regular but not continuous events. Look on the attractions page to see what is going on virtually all the time during the Show. Please note that adverse weather may necessitate alterations to this programme.
