Malverns Classic 2027

The Cannondale Malverns Classic returns to Eastnor Deer Park for four days of mountain bike racing, riding, entertainment and festival action from 20–23 August 2026.

One of the biggest celebrations of mountain biking in the UK, the Malverns Classic brings riders, racers, families and some of the biggest names in the cycle industry together for a packed weekend in the Herefordshire countryside.

There’s plenty happening on the bike, with a full programme of racing alongside opportunities to ride throughout the weekend. Events include cross-country, downhill, dual slalom, 4X, dirt jumping and racing for younger riders, while the festival's riding zones give visitors even more opportunities to get on their bikes.

Away from the racing, the huge MTB expo features more than 130 trade stands, giving riders the chance to check out the latest bikes, components, clothing and equipment from across the industry.

The Main Arena is at the heart of the festival, with dirt jump competitions, BMX displays, retro bike shows, the famous Lake Ride and plenty of other entertainment throughout the weekend.

When the riding finishes, the festival continues into the evening with live music and DJs. The 2026 line-up includes Chicane, Phil Hartnoll of Orbital and Bez from Happy Mondays.

Camping is available, making the Malverns Classic a full weekend of bikes, racing, entertainment and catching up with the mountain bike community at one of the UK's most iconic MTB festival venues.
