Stage 5 of the Tour of Britain Cycling Race travels through Saxtead on Thursday 7th September 

On Thursday 7 September, the fifth stage of the Tour of Britain comes to Saxtead! 

Starting and finishing in Felixstowe, the prestigious international race will travel 119.6 miles through Suffolk and pass through  the village and then on to Framlingham, Saxmundham, Leiston and Woodbridge. 

The cyclists and their entourage should be whizzing through  Saxtead from approximately 13:35. Do come out and give them a cheer if you are able. 

You still have time to join in Framlingham's Tour of Britain sticker trail- pick up a story book from one of the businesses hiding stickers around the town. If you can get all 10, pop to the Town Council Office for a small reward. You can also look out for the 8 decorated cycles around the town.
