Parkour freerunners from Britain’s Got Talent are part of a full programme of Bourne CiCLE Festival family entertainment at the Oldrids & Downtown Event Village at The Wellhead.
The festival, with world-class cycling race action on 31 August and 1 September, has attracted entries from the UK’s top teams, but there is also cycling related fun for all ages, promises organiser South Kesteven District Council.
In the only show of its kind in the UK, Pedal Power versus Parkour sees two wheeled BMX and mountain bike stunt riders take on freerunners to prevent them from becoming the crowd’s favourite!
Andrew Norman, Head of Visitor Economy for InvestSK, SKDC’s economic growth and regeneration company, believes it all adds up to a great mix over the weekend.
“Our racing will be spectacular, but the event village promises to be equally attractive in a different way,” he said. “We can look forward to some great entertainment, and, importantly, something for all ages.”
Action Wheels, one of the UK’s premier two wheeled “Have-A-Go” features, offers entertainment for children aged two through to adults. Family friendly adventure zones include obstacles with something for everyone.
Don’t miss the smoothie Bike Challenge, on Saturday only, where specially designed static bikes link directly to a smoothie maker mounted on the handle bars. A collection of restored cycles will also be on display.

In the heart of the event village will be specialist market stalls and a food court with fresh

The car park on South Street will house a range of classic cars and vehicles.
