2010 Tour of Britain

Norfolk will be hosting the county’s largest ever live sporting spectacle, the Tour of Britain cycle race on Thursday 16th September. Specific location timings will be announced at a later date, but the race will begin from the Market Place, King’s Lynn and end on South Beach Parade in Great Yarmouth, having covered one hundred and seventeen miles of the county’s roads.

As the UK’s biggest professional bicycle race and a centrepiece of the British sporting calendar the event will receive massive media coverage in the UK, and around the world, presenting a major opportunity  for Norfolk artists, arts and cultural organisations to profile their work, promote special events and encourage new audiences. A website including dedicated pages and links for each district area is in development.
