BESPOKED Handmade Bicycle Show moves to Manchester

BESPOKED Handmade Bike Show returns to the UK for 2024, and Singletrack World will be there this year!

Press Release begins:

Embracing an enthusiastic response from visitors, exhibitors and international media alike, BESPOKED confirmed its position as the premier showcase of bicycle craftsmanship and innovation in Europe. 

After a year on the mainland, BESPOKED has returned to the UK for the Summer of 2024 with an exciting new venue. This year’s show will be held at the iconic Victoria Baths in Manchester, named the “European Capital of Cycling” 2024, from the 28 -30th of June 2024. 

Unforgettable Highlights and Lasting Impressions

“Victoria Baths is an ideal venue for the show, with its glass roof, neutral palette and ornate interiors. Manchester is ideally situated at the center 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 ” says BESPOKED’s Peter Georgallou.

The event, which extends over three days, estimates an attendance of thousands of handmade enthusiasts, industry professionals, and members of the cycling community. Attendees will be treated to a feast of design and ingenuity, amidst a warm, familial atmosphere where the maker of each bicycle can tell their own story, as well as fantastic food and drinks. 

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, offering an incredible atmosphere for sports fans and spectators!

A Year of Preparation and Expectation

After a year away from the UK, the promise of exceptional works from makers who have refined their craft to unprecedented degrees, holds a greater allure than ever for handmade bike fans in the UK. The BESPOKED team is dedicated to providing an even more impactful and inclusive event, promising to be an essential date in the cycling industry’s calendar.

Stay Tuned for the Journey

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. The journey to the next BESPOKED begins now, and it’s one that the global cycling community is invited to join.
