The UK’s only fully closed road UGFWS Gran Fondo Cycle Tour comes through Great Gidding on 5th June 2016

The Gran Fondo Start and Finish are being produced at the Peterborough Arena and Showground. The Gran Fondo route is on high quality roads which are rolling to the west of the A1 and flat to the east of the A1 and exposed to winds.

The route passes through Great Gidding which means that the road will be closed from 11.00am until 3.00pm on 5th June 2016.

The Tour of Cambridgeshire(ToC) is a cycling festival produced at the Peterborough Arena and Showground on the weekend of 4th and 5th June 2016. ToC comprises two mass participation cycling events on fully closed roads each of which caters for the full spectrum of riders from elite athletes to leisure riders.

Great Gidding will be holding its own Big Lunch this year on Sunday 12th June.

The event will take place on the Recreation Ground (the Village Hall is the wet weather back up). Start time is 12.30pm and stay as long as you wish.

Everyone is welcome – just bring along a picnic and all that you need to enjoy lunch outdoors. In addition, if you would like to bake a cake, grow some salad leaves or make some lemonade to share with others, that would be much appreciated.

Location: Recreation Ground, Great Gidding
Start Time: 12:30

The Big Lunch aims to get as many people in the UK as possible to have lunch with their neighbours on one day – this year on Sunday June 12. The idea comes from the Eden Project and is funded by the BIG Lottery Fund.

The last couple of years have seen the Gidding Village Produce Show gradually grow (excuse the pun) and we hope that it will continue to do so this year.

This year’s Village Show is in August, and we hope that an earlier date will make it better for many flower and vegetable growers. There are a few changes to classes this year and the very successful barbeque and bar will be catering for all our needs as well as the much needed tea and cakes as we await the results.

Why not come along and spend an hour or two seeing the wide range of produce? Anyone can enter and all are very welcome.

N.B. Entries will not be accepted after midday

Public Viewing 3.00-4.OOpm

Presentation of Cups and Certificates 4.00pm followed by B.B.Q. and brown envelope raffle.
