Church Tourism
The Suffolk Ride and Stride is a fantastic annual fundraising event in which several thousand cyclists and walkers of all ages and drivers of vintage and classic cars will take part in, to help raise funds for Suffolk churches. In 2020 £190,000 was raised in a day. The money raised helps to save our wonderful churches, with half going to the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust to give out as grants for church buildings, and half to the cyclists’/walkers’ chosen church. Also, on the same day, a vintage and classic car rally is held with cars travelling a provided route around a selection of churches. Sponsor forms and full details for Ride and Stride and Pedal and Drive are now available in Suffolk churches and from the Trust website. Donations and sponsorship can also be collected via Just Giving. Please visit Ride and Stride – Suffolk Historic Churches Trust (shct.org.uk) for more information on this fantastic fundraising event!
