Come and celebrate all things cycling this weekend at The People's Village in Hyde Park - from Friday 6 July to Sunday 8 July

From cycling displays and attractions, to street entertainers and live music, the People's Village is a free, family-friendly event which has something for everybody. There will be a variety of informative exhibits, interactive displays and entertainment, including a New Orleans-style jazz and blues band as well as stilt walkers and jugglers.

The People's Village will also host French and British themed markets featuring a huge variety of traditional produce including breads, pastries, ice-cream, cheeses, crépes, and gourmet food and wine. There will also be craft stalls selling authentic French antiques, traditional Proven�al baskets and tablecloths. For those who get thirsty, two full bars with outside seating will be selling real ales, Pimms and fine wines.

There will also be plenty to interest children, with the chance to learn various bike handling skills with experienced cycling coaches. They can then try out their new cycling skills on a special cycling obstacle course!

Remember, if you want to find out more about cycling - whether it's training, insurance, commuting, cycling events, and local cycle groups, or cycling for those with disabilities, the People's Village is the place to be!
