The 2024 Bike Ride, Walk & Drive was a glorious day. A fantastic £122,118 was raised with 600 people taking part including more than 150 first-timers.

Since the Bike Ride started in 1983 an incredible £4.4 million has been raised, with all proceeds directly benefitting Norfolk churches. A tremendous effort by everyone who has taken part, thank you.

NEW for 2025 For the first time this year 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.

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.”
