BLING YOUR BIKE AND JOIN THE RIDE

A great get together for the community with plenty of fun and good exercise!

Our Bike and Boats Festival is a celebration of local 19th century traditions with a decorated Bike Ride but which also looks to the future as we encourage people to use more sustainable modes of transport.

Access some of the amazing things Ellesmere Port has to offer; green space, a network of cycle routes and of course our very own nationally important museum, The National Waterways Museum.
