As Yorkshire gears up for Le Grand Depart, Ilkley Literature Festival stages ‘Cycling Words’ at Ilkley Lido.

Exciting cycling themed events on Saturday, June 28, and Sunday, June 29, from 7.30pm to 8.30pm have something for everyone from some of cycling’s best writers.

The outdoor theatre show is created by leading writer Mike Kenny. It is inspired by real bike stories collected from ordinary people – casual hobbyists to fanatics, bike lovers to car users, lobbyists to climate change scientists.

Entry is free but book in advance at Ilkley Visitor Information Centre, Station Road, Ilkley, LS29 6HB.
