Stunt cycling displays, children's shows and a walkabout magician were just a few activities that were lined up for families in Mowbray Park earlier today, August 10.
The free event took place ahead of the Tour Series cycling event which sees Britain’s best male and female cyclists compete against each other in a unique, team-based format as part of a day of sporting and community-focused activities.
The main cycling event kicked off at 5.30pm with the women’s race, followed by the men’s race at 7pm on the race circuit around the perimeter of Mowbray Park.
Check out these 14 photos of families enjoying themselves this afternoon.
