The 2025 took place on Saturday 13th September - a fantastic £115,527.99 has been received, thank you to everyone who has contributed to that total.

The Bike Ride, Walk & Drive has now closed for 2025, and the share of funds has been distributed to the participating churches. The photography competition has been judged, see here for the winners. We will be publishing the rest of our competition winners shortly.

We are now working hard preparing for the 2026 event which takes place on Saturday 12th September, which this year will include some exciting new features. We will be updating this page with all the information for this, the Trust’s 50th anniversary year, as soon as possible.

Please note, the forms currently on the website relate to the 2025 event, the 2026 versions are being worked on behind the scenes and we will let you know as soon as they are available so you can start planning your day.

Since the Bike Ride started in 1983 an incredible £4.5 million has been raised, with all proceeds directly benefitting Norfolk churches. A tremendous effort by everyone who has taken part, thank you.

You can download a suggested BIKE route. Routes are colour coded; under-10 miles, 10-25 miles and over-25 miles, so hopefully you can find one to suit, just click here.

Planning to DRIVE? Why not try one of Hungate Medieval Art’s Rood Screen or Stained Glass Trails, downloadable routes which are available from them at the following lin k, so whilst taking part you can, as an added bonus, take in some of the finest examples of stained glass and screens in the county’s churches.

“Norfolk Churches Trust do an amazing job helping to care for the hundreds of stunning Churches around the Diocese. Coming into Norfolk last September I have become increasingly grateful for the work the Trust do, and I know many of our Churches have benefitted from grants that have helped to preserve the remarkable mission that happens in and around our parishes.”
