Just two quick updates:

Last day for campsite earlybird bookings!
Campsite bookings are already matching last year’s total so far, which is great given the change of venue! Many thanks to all who have booked in already. For anyone yet to book, the lowest earlybird campsite pitch prices are available for just a few more hours, until midnight tonight! Please book now for the lowest prices and to help our planning: https://yorkrally.org/visitor-informati ... -bookings/

Please help with leaflet distribution!
As pictured below, our 2026 event leaflets have now gone off to print, and they’ll be with us early next week to send out. If you could help with distribution by passing some to friends, club-mates, distributing at cycling events or via bike shops, in camping/caravanning circles or wherever else you think potential visitors or campers might find them, please just drop an email to organiser@yorkrally.org with your name, postal address and roughly how many you would like. We’ll get them in the post to you ASAP with our thanks!

the rides list is looking great - we're spoilt for choice!

I'm getting quite antsy waiting for departure time for my annual pilgrimage

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!

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 a 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/

The excitement is real in our household

I'm a trendy consumer. Just look at my 25010PN30G using hovercraft full of eels.

It was a great weekend, great new venue, enthusiastic hosts and i'm told, (i had a mechanical that pre-empted joining in), some wonderful rides on each day.

It wasn't perfect, there were some teething issues but everyone i spoke to at the weekend and since are looking forward to 2027. Mark the dates, 11-13 June 2027 at Driffield showground.
