Bespoked, the handmade bicycle show, will return to the UK in 2024.
After a year away from these shores, Bespoked 2024 will be held at the Victoria Baths in Manchester from Friday, June 28, to Sunday, June 30.
Peter Georgallou, from Bespoked, said: “Victoria Baths is an ideal venue for the show, with its glass roof, neutral palette and ornate interiors.
“Manchester is ideally situated at the centre of the UK geographically, with fantastic transport links and proximity to the Lake District and Peak District, which make up some of the finest riding in the UK.”
The event, which extends over three days, estimates an attendance of thousands of handmade enthusiasts, industry professionals, and members of the cycling community.
Attendees can expect a feast of design and ingenuity where the maker of each bicycle can tell their own story, as well as food and drink.
The weekend coincides with the start of this year’s Tour de France, which will be playing on the big screen in the bar area during the show.
After a year away from the UK, with the sole 2023 event held in Dresden, Germany, the promise of “exceptional works” from makers who have refined their craft, holds a greater allure for handmade bike fans in the UK.
The Bespoked team says it is dedicated to providing an even more impactful and inclusive event, aiming to be an essential date in the cycling industry’s calendar.
Enthusiasts and professionals are encouraged to stay connected through the event’s website and social media channels for updates and features leading up to the 2024 UK and EU shows.
Registration for the Manchester, UK show, along with the Dresden event, taking place at Dresden International Airport from Friday, October 18, to Sunday, October 20, is open for exhibitors now.
