Festival Overview
A sustainable and community-led cycling festival set on a Welsh Estate . Three days of self-supported ride-outs, live music, film, and camping in the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains, with food and drink from independent Welsh producers.
Your Tour De France weekend
The Tour de France Grand Départ 2027 lands across our three days. And we want to put on a party. From Friday night to Sunday evening, we have built an entertainment programme with a real Welsh flavour - cycling storytelling and films, live music, and a party on Saturday.
Camp with us, ride out in the morning, eat well at lunch, watch the Tour De France Grand Départ stages live on the big screen in the afternoon and listen to music in the evening or kick back and watch a movie.
On Sunday, you ride out to the route and soak up the atmosphere as the Tour De France Peloton arrives in Wales.

Wales was made for cycling.
We created this festival because of our love for Wales and an obsession with all things cycling.
Wales has riding to rival any Alpine region, and we’re using the Tour de France 2027 Grand Départ to build something that stays here long after the race has gone.
Come and explore Wales
We want this to be the weekend that makes you fall for cycling here - the lanes, the hills, the welcome.
If you’ve got a question, or you’re thinking of bringing your club or a group, we’d love to hear from you.
