Cycling to Shambala Independently of the Red Fox Cycle Tours?

Shambala will always salute those who have ridden to the festival on a bike with a secure bike park (inside the event this year for peace of mind).

Please ensure you have adequate water, snacks and places to stay on the way.

What to Take:

  • Packed lunch and water
  • Cycling kit (including spare inner tube, working bike and waterproof coat and trousers!)
  • Cycling helmet (keep safe!)
  • Tent and sleeping bag
  • Locks and lights
  • Outrageous fancy dress for Saturday night Carnival & revelry!

Getting Home:

The return journey is your responsibility. You can book your bicycle on the train (you must do this in advance) or arrange a lift back with a friend. We offer shuttle buses to the station (Market Harborough). You can also of course cycle back too!
