Come and Support Ride+Stride!
Participants may be cyclists, walkers, horse-riders or drivers of mobility scooters. They can be of any age, but under-13s must be accompanied by an adult. All denominations are welcome.

Visit as many churches as you like, planning your own route. Seek sponsorship from friends, relations and colleagues, so much per church visited or a lump sum.

Ride + Stride is an event like no other. Why not take part this year and find out for yourself what extraordinary things lie behind the churchyard gates of Buckinghamshire’s many fascinating and historic churches and chapels?

Ride + Stride is open to walkers as well as horse-riders and cyclists – in fact to anyone using a non-motorised form of transport. (Mobility Scooters are permitted.) It always takes place on the second Saturday of September between 10.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m., and the object is to raise money for the repair and restoration of historic churches and chapels in Buckinghamshire. Half the money raised goes to the church or chapel of the participant’s choice, and the other half is added to a general fund which is administered by the Buckinghamshire Historic Churches Trust.
