Consett Cycle Festival returns in June 2025
A cycling festival event is to return to the calendar for the first time in six years.
Consett Cycle Festival attracted more than 10,000 people to the County Durham town in 2019, but the Covid pandemic put a stop to the event.
Organisers are now bringing the festival back on the 22nd June with a men's and women's Tour de Reservoir race starting and finishing in the town centre with Stunt shows from Paul Swift & his team throughout the day.
Mr John O'Connor, chair of the Project Genesis Trust, said the festival aims to celebrate the resilience of the town and highlight it as a cycling hub.
It is now hoped to repeat the festival in 2026 and 2027.
