Stockport is buzzing as it gears up to host the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift on July 31, 2027, part of the UK Grand Départs. This event is a massive deal, shining a spotlight on Stockport and attracting millions of viewers worldwide. The race starts in Leeds, heads through Manchester and Stockport, and finishes in Sheffield, with a grand finale in London.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, all ten host venues lit up the night sky with a yellow beam in the “Tour de Skies” event.
