York Cycle Rally 2024
21st & 23rd June 2024 at the Knavesmire, York
The historic York Rally returns in 2024! Join us for a free, family-friendly and 100% volunteer-organised grand weekend of cycling on York’s Knavesmire.
Famous since 1945 as the annual ‘gathering of the cycling clans’, the York Rally draws cyclists from across the country for a friendly weekend of cycling activities, food and music.
It’s also popular with day visitors from York and the area. There’s free parking, free entry and just about all activities on site are free too.
It’s a grand, traditional and refreshingly non-commercial celebration of cycling in a family-friendly atmosphere, with camping available on site. We’ll look forward to seeing you in June!
