Once again, Oakham is buzzing with community led events, offering a bit of something for everyone, from adventure to culture.

Enjoy live music, fundraising opportunities, social bike rides, good food and much, much more this weekend in Rutland.

Sigma Sports Social Ride

Heading out on Saturday the 9th of July from the Sigma Sports Oakham store, the team have joined forces with the guys from Universal Colours for this very special weekend spin.

Not just joining the ride, the cycle clothing experts will also be providing all those that register for the ride with a free pair of socks, bottles and a special discount code that can be used on the Sigma Sports website as well as in Sigma Sports stores.

There will be two groups, one slow and one fast. Both groups one and two will cover the same 44 kilometre route, which will include a lap of Rutland Water.

This event will begin at 9am.
