Ride & Stride 2026

We’re pleased to be open to visitors for the Suffolk Churches Ride & Stride this year. We’ll be open to welcome you from 9am to 5pm on Saturday 12th September and it’s a chance to look inside the building that you see when travelling down Woodbridge Road in Ipswich.

In Suffolk alone, last year £200,000 was raised by this one-day event. Individuals, families and groups of friends, will cycle, run or walk between some of the five hundred or so Suffolk churches taking part. Sponsored for their journey, they chose their own route, visiting as many or as few churches as they feel able.

Why not take part or take the opportunity to visit a participating church or chapel you’ve not been in before? Or invite a friend to pop into the Citadel to look around?

You can find out more about Ride and Stride and view a full list of participating churches on the Suffolk Historic Churches website.
