With just a week to go until The Grand Départ, there is certainly more to look forward in Richmond than just race itself.
The town will see a multicultural transformation for the event, with pubs adding a continental twist to their names such as The Buck Auberge, and Le Unicorn as well as several wine tasting events.
So if forking out twenty pounds to park your caravan in a field, just to see five seconds of zooming men in lycra doesn’t sounds like your slice of cheese, then regarder au-dessous:
Richmond Pub and Wine Trail – Starting at either the Holly Hill or The Ship (make sure to pick up a map if you’re committed to completing it).
Richmond Bus Tour (number 31) – Panoramic bus tours of Richmond will be running every two hours from 8am.
July 3 at Richmond Town Twinning with Saint Aubin du Cormier – July 3, Richmond Town Hall at 7.30pm.
Live music – Held in The Ship (or La Navire) every Friday, Richmond Comrades Club between July 2 – July 7 from 7.30pm, Saturday nights at the Castle Tavern, and most Friday nights at the Golden Lion.
July 18 – 20 is Woolcombers Festival at Bishop Blaize.
July 4 at the Cricket Club – Wine tasting evening from 7.30pm.
