Burngreave Welcomes the Tour

The massive Tour de France event led to a special two-day Abbeyfield Festival this year.

A weekend of perfect weather brought Burngreave’s residents out to Abbeyfield Park on Saturday 5th July for the community stage and stalls of the festival, then again on Sunday. Festival-goers could also watch the race from the large screen in the Park.

Thousands gathered on the Tour route through Burngreave, creating an amazing atmosphere. Local groups provided refreshments for spectators.
