Rebellion Way Solo Cycle (262 miles) for Kimpton Players Playhouse · 21 September 2025

Playhouse Rebuild Fund
Campaign by Kimpton Players (RCN 265243)
Built in the 1960s, our Playhouse is vital for our charity to continue. The roof, has been deteriorating for a number of years now. Despite our best efforts and numerous repairs, it has come to the point where the building needs to be replaced.

Story

I am cycling around Norfolk to raise funds for the Kimpton Players' new Playhouse. The Playhouse is our rehearsal building - see pic - and is unusable. We have raised over 30% of the cost and are seeking matched fund grants so any contribution will be matched.

The Kimpton Players is a successful local amdram group https://www.thekimptonplayers.co.uk that has been operating for over 80 years - Eric Morecambe was a past president. We put on up to 3 productions per year including a panto and Old Time Music Hall.

On 21st September I will be cycling the Rebellion Way around Norfolk to raise funds for the replacement building. I would be most grateful if you could support me. The 5 day ride is as follows:

Day 1: Kimpton to Rickinghall - 44 miles. 8 mile ride to Stevenage station. Train from Stevenage to Norfolk followed by a 36 mile cycle to Rickinghall.

Day 2: Rickinghall to Swaffham - 49 miles - via Thetford and Mundford.

Day 3: Swaffham to Hunstanton - 48 miles - via Bawsey and Castle Rising

Day 4: Hunstanton to Blakeney - 46 miles - via Burnham Market and Little Walsingham

Day 5: Blakeney to Norwich - 66 miles - via Sheringham, Erpington and Hoveton

On Day 6 I will train back to Stevenage and cycle 8 miles to Kimpton.
