A cycling Grand Prix is returning to North Yorkshire this weekend.

The North Yorkshire Grand Prix will be back at its traditional home at Ampleforth Abbey on Sunday (Aug 16).

Organised by British Cycling, the race features two circuits extending through the Abbey grounds and out across the Howardian Hills.

Spectators are warmly invited to watch the race unfold live on the big screen in the Abbey grounds.

Award-winning artist Garth Bayley will also be capturing the speed, energy and atmosphere of professional cycling on canvas throughout the day.

Edward Perry, CEO of Ampleforth Abbey, said: “We are delighted to see the North Yorkshire Grand Prix returning to the grounds of Ampleforth Abbey this year, an excellent opportunity to celebrate the joy of cycling and to showcase the stunning North Yorkshire countryside surrounding Ampleforth Abbey.”
