Rapha Tempest Festival – preview
Whisper it, but there’s a minor bike race coming to Yorkshire this July. If you’re hoping to watch some of this little-known event (the Tour de France, we believe it’s called) then you won’t be stuck for choice. While hotels have been booked up for months, and B&Bs have responded by pushing their prices through the roof, cycling festivals represent a fun and affordable way to watch the world’s greatest bike race when it visits these shores.
We headed to the stately surroundings of Broughton Hall, the sumptuous property of the Tempest family, to discover what might be on offer to those who choose to spend the Grand Depart in the company of London-based clothing brand, Rapha, suppliers to Britain’s Team Sky.
